How do I get a specific template?

Hi,

How do I get a specific Master template when I do NOT know the ID. I know the name of the name and alias of the template e.g. "MainMaster".

The template object constructor have two overloads:
new umbraco.template(int templateID)
new umbraco.template(string templateContent)

They don't help me. Can any of you?

Thanks

umbraco.cms.businesslogic.template.Template.GetByAlias("MainMaster");

might help you.

Did'nt work for me, but you led me in the right direction. Heres my final (ugly) solution.

IEnumerable<umbraco.cms.businesslogic.template.Template> templates = umbraco.cms.businesslogic.template.Template.GetAllAsList();
document.Template = templates.Single( t => t.Alias.Equals( "MainMaster" ) ).Id;

Thanks kows

By the way. Don't know why it didn't work. It just returned 0. Maybe because I tried to fetch a tempate further down the tree!?

I never used it myself before, just had a quick search and happy it got you in the right direction.

(there's also a getidbyalias method, maybe that one returns smth without having to do your workaround?)
