    Right way to get an instance of DataTypeService 7.5.8

    Hi All, We have just upgraded to 7.5.8 and are using the datatypeservice as part of a migration.

    I was wondering what the right way to grab an instance of it was whereas previously it looked like:

    var dts = new DataTypeService(); var dropdownValueToSet = dts.GetPreValuesCollectionByDataTypeId(templateVariantsDropdownDatatypeId).PreValuesAsDictionary .First(d => d.Value.Value == templateVariantName).Value.Id;

    The method sig has changed and I'm not sure how to initialise the dependencies for the UOW, repository factory etc.

    Thanks :)

    Hi Tom

    The best way is to use standalone context of Umbraco like:

    var dropdownValueToSet = ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService.GetPreValuesCollectionByDataTypeId(templateVariantsDropdownDatatypeId).PreValuesAsDictionary.First(d => d.Value.Value == templateVariantName).Value.Id;

    You don't need to create a new instance of Services I think.

    Just use what we have in context.

    Thanks

    Alex
