Hi Mikael

In Umbraco 8 can inject the IUmbracoSettingsSection type via dependency injection:

using Umbraco.Core.Configuration.UmbracoSettings;

public class MyClass {

    private readonly IUmbracoSettingsSection _umbracoSettings;

    public MyClass(IUmbracoSettingsSection umbracoSettings) {
        _umbracoSettings = umbracoSettings;
    }

}

Or alternatively via Current:

@using Umbraco.Core.Composing
@using Umbraco.Core.Configuration.UmbracoSettings

@{

    IUmbracoSettingsSection umbracoSettings1 = Current.Configs.Settings();
    IUmbracoSettingsSection umbracoSettings2 = Current.Factory.GetInstance<IUmbracoSettingsSection>();

    IEnumerable<string> allowedTypes = umbracoSettings1.Content.ImageFileTypes;

    <h5>Allowed types:</h5>
    <pre>@string.Join(", ", allowedTypes)</pre>

}

Also if you're looking to do the same in Umbraco 9, it can be done as:

@using Microsoft.Extensions.Options
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Configuration.Models
@inject IOptions<ContentSettings> _contentSettings

@{

    string[] allowedTypes = _contentSettings.Value.Imaging.ImageFileTypes;

    <h5>Allowed types:</h5>
    <pre>@string.Join("\r\n", allowedTypes)</pre>

}

is working on a reply...
