    Add New Tab to a Document Type

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to create and add a new virtual tab, with properties and stuff, to an existing document type.

    The problem is that the methods i'm trying to use are deprecated and i'm having some errors too.

    var dt = DocumentType.GetByAlias("MyDocumentTypeAlias");
int tabId = dt.AddVirtualTab("ContentTab");
var pt = dt.AddPropertyType(new DataTypeDefinition(-49), "ContentTab", "Content Tab");
dt.SetTabOnPropertyType(pt, tabId);
dt.Save();

    Is there a more recent/updated solution?

    Thanks in advance,

    Andre Sousa.

    This is more recent and relevant: 

    var contentTypeService = UmbracoContext.Current.Application.Services.ContentTypeService;
var contentType = contentTypeService.GetContentType("MyDocumentTypeAlias");
var tab = new PropertyGroup { Name = "ContentTab", SortOrder = 100 };
contentType.PropertyGroups.Add(tab);
contentTypeService.Save(communityContentType);
