I created a function that will retrieve the interface to
the datatype using the DataTypeName as created in
Development > Data Types
[code]

using umbraco.interfaces;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.datatype;

// retrieve a data type interface using its data type name
static public IDataType GetDataTypeByDataTypeName(string DataTypeName)
{
// get all data type definitions
DataTypeDefinition[] dfa = DataTypeDefinition.GetAll();
// iterate through all data type definitions
for (int di = 0; di < dfa.Length; di++)
{
// get data type interface of data type definition
IDataType datatype = dfa[di].DataType;
// get cms node belonging to this data type
// for name compare purposes
CMSNode node = new CMSNode(datatype.DataTypeDefinitionId);
// compare data type name - case insensitive
if (node.Text.ToLower() == DataTypeName.ToLower())
{
// data type was found
return datatype;

// data type was not found

enumerating Data Types from xslt extension
Hi there,
Does anyone know how to enumerate the available data Types
from within a custom xslt extension?
I am writing an XSLT extension that has to format content depending on
a specific prevalue setting I configured in a specific data type.
Therefore I need to enumerate all Data Types, find the correct one,
read the prevalue settings and format my content.
I can not find a way to enumerate these Data Types.
I do hope I don't have to make a direct Database connection
and load it from the cmsDataType and cmsDataTypePreValues tables.
anyone?
