    umbraco v6 - get content type by ID, easier way?

    General

    Hello,

    I need to get a ContentType object by ID, on umbraco v4 I used to do it using the DocumentType object, it was pretty easy, looks like with ContentType now it's really a mess, but maybe I'm just doing it the wrong way?

    Basically I needed to create 4(!!!) objects just to be able to use the method GetContentType, it would be much easier to just have a static method...

    Anyone know a better way to do it? Below my code.

    Thanks!

    //get content type.. a lot of stuff... any way to do it faster/better?
ContentService cs = new ContentService();
RepositoryFactory rf = new RepositoryFactory();
MediaService ms = new MediaService(rf);
ContentTypeService cts = new ContentTypeService(cs, ms);
ContentType ct = (ContentType)cts.GetContentType(123456);

    I just ran into this exact problem on my search page. I wanted to display the document type's name on the website. Not the sexiest code, but thanks Joao, this helped me!

    I guess this will help

    var cts = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService;
    ContentType ct =(ContentType)cts.GetContentType(123456);
