title: Querying on Umbraco Checkboxlist items using Razor
body: <p>I have the following on my page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var filteredArticles = newsNode.Descendants().Where("newsType.Split(',').Contains('Employer')");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>newsType is a property on my news items that is an Umbraco checkbox list data type that umbraco renders as a comma delimited list such as : </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;newsType&gt;Agent,Employer,Provider,Home Page&lt;/newsType&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to just retrieve back all "Employer" articles.  But I receive the following error:  </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Umbraco.Core.Dynamics.ParseException: No applicable method 'Split'
    exists in type 'String'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there a different way to query a comma delimited list from a checkbox list using razor?</p>
  
  <p>This is for Umbraco version 7.2.4.</p>
