    Umbraco 7 - Get Page Document Type

    Hi,

    I'm writing a Partial View Macro that lists out data from all pages of a specific document type. I've got the pages back okay but would like to get access to the document type that shapes those pages so that I can write out the names of the properties associated with it. All I've found so far makes reference to the DocumentType service e.g. DocumentType.GetByAlias but I don't see anything in the v7 documentation that makes reference to the DocumentType service. Is there a new way of doing this and if not then what namespace do I need to include to get access to the DocumentType service?

    Thanks.

    I think you can use DocumentTypeAlias e.g.

    foreach(var node in myNodes)
{
var myNodeDocType = node.DocumentTypeAlias;
}

    Or something like that.

    I think that just returns the name (string) of the Document Type and not the actual Document Type itself which is what I'm after.

    Thanks though.

    Hey Craig

    See what you mean. You can get the properties for sure, you can do it via a few methods, will come back to you with an example.

    Thanks

    Thanks Alessandro, that's exactly what I was looking for. I've now been able to get to the Property Names within a specific Tab by querying:

    var contentTypeService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService;
var contentType = contentTypeService.GetContentType(myNode.DocumentTypeId);
var propertyList = contentType.CompositionPropertyGroups.ToList()[3].PropertyTypes.ToList();

    Awesome!
