I have just started to evaluate Umbraco to see if its suitable for use on my site and I'm having a problem which seems pretty straight forward so it might just be me being a div.

On my site at the minute I have a .Net User Control which I've added to Umbraco as a Macro. The control has a property which is 'AccountId' which is a string, but the value needs to be able to convert to a Guid. I will need users of umbraco to be able to enter the 'AccountId' on the contents page. So I have set up the macro parameter to be a property with the following details:

Alias = AccountId
Name = AccountId
Type = propertyTypePicker

I have tried various different names, alias and type to no avail.

I've then set up a template containing the macro.

<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="SimpleBidForm" AccountId="Account"></?UMBRACO_MACRO>

I've then set up a Document Type with the property with the following details (again I have tried naming the property various different names to no avail):

Name = Account Identity
Alias = Account
Type = Textstring
Mandatory = True

If I create a page and enter the value in property it doesn't pick it up and the value of the property in my control is null.

Come on guys what have I missed? Many thanks
