use page as argument in Umbraco - razor

Question

I'm trying to pass page as argument in Umbraco . and in a helper I need some properties of the page . like Name , ...
This is my code :
var PageWeAreInheritedFrom = CurrentPage;
#ShowBanner(PageWeAreInheritedFrom);
#helper ShowBanner(dynamic pageWeRIn)
{
if (pageWeRIn.bannerIsInherited)
{
#ShowBanner(pageWeRIn.Parent)
}
else
{
//here I want to have a switch case based on pageWeRIn.Name
//but I cant have it.
}
}
This is the Error .seems the page type is different in the helper method
A switch expression or case label must be a bool, char, string,
integral, enum, or corresponding nullable type

Answer 1

This is caused because pageWeRIn is dynamic and C#'s switch can't work with dynamic variables. I personally don't work with dynamics in my views but only with typed models. For more information see: http://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2015/strongly-typed-vs-dynamic-content-access/
A typed implementation would look somehthing like this (not tested):
#ShowBanner(Mode.Content);
#helper ShowBanner(IPublishedContent pageWeRIn)
{
if (pageWeRIn.GetPropertyValue<bool>("bannerIsInherited"))
{
#ShowBanner(pageWeRIn.Parent)
}
else
{
//use all the switches you want on pageWeRIn.Name
}
}
Another way to do it without changing the whole code would be to introduce a new variable that's typed (as Jannik explained in his comment) and then use a switch
string nodeName = pageWeRIn.Name
switch(nodeName){
// whatever
}
