Hello,

Just wanted to double check the correct way of getting the list of prevalues of a dropdown datatype. So far i have:

New way i think, i got this though looking at core code on github:

var dataService = ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService;
var dictionaryDropdownPreValues = dataService.GetPreValuesCollectionByDataTypeId(idOfProperty).PreValuesAsDictionary;
    foreach(KeyValuePair<string, PreValue> preValue in  dictionaryDropdownPreValues){
        @:@preValue.Value.Id : @preValue.Value.Value : @preValue.Value.SortOrder
    }

Old way from a stack overflow article:

var preValues = PreValues.GetPreValues(idOfProperty).Values;
var enumerator = preValues.GetEnumerator();
while (enumerator.MoveNext()){
    var preValueText = ((umbraco.cms.businesslogic.datatype.PreValue)enumerator.Current);
    @:@preValueText.Id : @preValueText.Value : @preValueText.SortOrder
}

Really old way (?deprecated):

var preValuesDropdown = uQuery.GetPreValues(idOfProperty);
foreach(var preValue in preValuesDropdown){
    @:@preValue.Id : @preValue.Value : @preValue.SortOrder <br/>
}

Am i correct in assuming the first option (using the ApplicationContext.Services.DataTypeService) is the correct way of doing this?

To give some context, i am doing this because i want to make a few member drop down properties accessible on the member profile page.
