int renderingValue = dynamic_cast<mitk::VtkVolumeRenderingProperty*>(GetDataTreeNode()->GetProperty("volumerendering configuration",renderer))->GetValueAsId();

In cases where there is no "volumerendering configuration" property, this code crashes.

Proposed solution: simply check if this property exists.
