    dotnetdatasource accessing umbraco context?

    hi is it possible to use a dotnetdatasource and access the umbraco context?

    i'd like to list all document types in my CMS.

    cheers,

    Hi Zell,

    You should be able to use UmbracoContext.Current in your .NET datasource.

    thank you, perfect! for purpose of completeness - i did the following:

      public class DocumentTypeDotNetDataSource : IDotNetDataSource
  {
    public IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> GetEditorDataItems(int contextId)
    {
      return UmbracoContext.Current.Application.Services.ContentTypeService.GetAllContentTypes()
        .OrderBy(d => d.Name)
        .Select(doctype => new KeyValuePair<string, string>(doctype.Alias, doctype.Name))
        .ToList();
    }
  }

    Hi,

    I'm a bit confused ? In the code you posted you still use the content service ?

    Dave

    PS : Never mind. You need all doctypes..so you actually needed them then ContentTypeService. Maybe add some caching so you don't need to get them every time from the database.
