DocumentType Name but not DocumentTypeAlias

Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 7
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

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....
