    DocumentType Name but not DocumentTypeAlias

    Hi together

    I'm trying to get the Document Type Name from my IPublishedContent Object in a Partial View.

    I tried this:

    var documentTypeAlias = person.DocumentTypeAlias;

    With this i got the Alias of the Document Type, but i want the Name. I already tried things like this

    var type = ContentTypeService.GetContentType(person.ContentTypeId);

    But this doesn't work.

    Can anyone help me?

    Greets, Silvan

    I searched for about some hours now and didn't find anything.

    I do this

    IPublishedContent person = CurrentPage;
int templateId = person.TemplateId;

    So then i have the templateId. But now how can i get the template Name?

    I tried this, but this doesnt work:

    Umbraco.Content(templateId);

    Any other suggestions?

    Hi Silvan!

    Here is how you can get the DocuemtType Name.

    @inherits UmbracoTemplatePage<IPublishedContent>
@{
    var documentTypeAlias = CurrentPage.DocumentTypeAlias;
    var documentType = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService.GetContentType(documentTypeAlias);
}
<p>@documentType.Name</p>

    Let me know if this helps you!!

    All the best! / Dennis

    enter image description here

    With your solution i get "Leader" but I need the "Leiter" Value.

    Did you try this?

    @inherits UmbracoTemplatePage<IPublishedContent>'
@{
        var documentTypeAlias = CurrentPage.DocumentTypeAlias; <!-- This is the documenttype alias, it is needed to be able to fetch the contenttype with the ContentTypeService on the next line.

        var documentType = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService.GetContentType(documentTypeAlias); <!-- Fetch the documenttype with the alias.
    }

        <p>@documentType.Name</p> <!-- This is the name of the documenttype, in your case 'Leiter'
        <p>@documentType.Alias</p> <!-- This is the alias of the documenttype, in your case 'Leader'

    Oops, Sorry.

    I only tried to show @documentType and didn't add @documentType.Name.

    Your solution now worked! Thank you very much! :D

    I spent too much time for this....
