def quickFindRecursive(startNodeId, searchValue) Loops through all nodes recursively from startNodeId searching for searchValue (on both node.Name and all node.Properties.Value). It uses nodefactory and is as fast as XsltSearch. Start node id -1 = content root.

0 Comments
Making Umbraco life easier with a little help of Python I needed to copy all properties from one document type to another.

Using IronPython in Umbraco – pyForum part 1
September 3, 2010 2 Comments

Introducing rndr – a package for macro testing and ajax calls
September 1, 2010 4 Comments
