    DocumentType.GetByAlias returns null

    API Questions

    I have a very simple code to retrieve doc type by alias in umbraco 6.1.6

    I am using below code 

    var dt =DocumentType.GetByAlias("TestDocType");
    or 
    var dt = new     DocumentType(1118);

    Both of above lines return null.  however  CMSNode returns the node details

    var dt = new CMSNode(1118); // returns node's details

    Please let me know what I am missing here.

    Regards

    Ben

    Hello,

    Is 1118 the id of the node or the id of the documenttype? Could you post a screenshot where you have the documenttype opened?

    Have you got the right alias?  What information by the doc type.

    I would use names alias rather than ids :)
