    Get ID of a DataType By its Alias

    Hey,

    how do i get a DataType ID by its Alias in Razor?

    i need this to get the prevalues of a Datatype with GetPreValuesByDataTypeId(xxx)

    Alternatively:
    I have the node of a page of my side that belongs to a datatype, how can i get the prevalues of this datatype?
    (the datatype is created manually by me )

    @Yves

    I have got the following code running in 7.1.8:

    var dataTypeService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.DataTypeService;
var allTypes = dataTypeService.GetAllDataTypeDefinitions();

//Replace Data Type Name with the name of the required datatype
var typeId = allTypes.First(x => "Data Type Name".InvariantEquals(x.Name)).Id;

    If you are trying to get the prevalues of your data type, the following can be used:

    var values = dataTypeService.GetPreValuesByDataTypeId(typeId);

    Good luck!
