RE:API get documetn type form

Hi,

you could create/select/delete a new document using API. The API example you could find here:
Creating a new document

If you mean that you would like to get a list of fields related to some document type, here is an example:


DataClassInfo classInfo = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClass(ClassId);
FormInfo formInfo = new FormInfo(classInfo.ClassFormDefinition);

The created document is a standard one and you can display it the same way as documents created in the UI in the CMS Desk.

Best regards,
Ivana Tomanickova

RE:API get documetn type form

Hello,

You can use for example CMSForm control. There are these main properties in this control:

BasicForm (BasicForm)
NodeId (int)
FormName (string) - cms.news.default
AlternativeFormFullName (string) – cms.user.editform
FormMode (FormModeEnum - Insert, Update, InsertNewCultureVersion)
SiteName (string)
CultureCode (string)

You can find the working sample in the User contribution, esp. in this control:

~\CMSModules\Content\Controls\UserContributions\EditForm.ascx

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
