MVC View Example
Without Modelsbuilder
@{
    IPublishedContent typedContentPicker = Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("featurePicker");
    if (typedContentPicker != null)
    {
        <p>@typedContentPicker.Name</p>
    }
}
With Modelsbuilder
@{
    IPublishedContent typedContentPicker = Model.FeaturePicker;
    if (typedContentPicker != null)
    {
        <p>@typedContentPicker.Name</p>
    }
}
Add values programmatically
See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;
​
@inject IContentService Services;
@{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services;
​
    // Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
    var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");
​
    // Get the page using the GUID you've defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page
​
    // Get the page you want to assign to the content picker 
    var page = Umbraco.Content("665d7368-e43e-4a83-b1d4-43853860dc45");
    
    // Create an Udi of the page
    var udi = Udi.Create(Constants.UdiEntityType.Document, page.Key);
​
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'featurePicker'. 
    content.SetValue("featurePicker", udi.ToString());
​
    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}
Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:
@{
    // Get the page using it's id
    var content = contentService.GetById(1234); 
}
If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache;
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core;
​
@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;
@{
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'featurePicker'
    content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor, x => x.FeaturePicker).Alias, udi.ToString());
}
