Finding list items
Sitefinity allows you to search for a specific list item. For more information about querying list items by ID, see Querying list items.
To search for a specific list item you can use the Native API or the Fluent API.
Searching for a list item by title
The following examples search for a specific list item with the specified Title.
Native API
public ListItem GetListItemByTitleNativeAPI(string title)
{
ListsManager listsManager = ListsManager.GetManager();
ListItem listItem = listsManager.GetListItems().Where(i => (i.Title == title && i.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live))
.FirstOrDefault();
return listItem;
}
First, you initialize ListsManager. Then, you get all list items using GetListItems() and filter based on the Title and Status properties. Finally, you return the list item.
Fluent API
public ListItem GetListItemByTitleFluentAPI(string title)
{
ListItem listItem = App.WorkWith().ListItems().Where(i => (i.Title == title && i.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live))
.Get().FirstOrDefault();
return listItem;
}
