Finding lists
Sitefinity allows you to search for a specific list. For more information about querying lists by ID, see Querying lists.
To search for a specific list you can use the Native API or the Fluent API.
Searching for a list by title
The following examples search for a specific list with the specified Title.
Native API
public List GetListByTitleNativeAPI(string title)
{
ListsManager listManager = ListsManager.GetManager();
List list = listManager.GetLists().Where(l => l.Title == title).FirstOrDefault();
return list;
}
First, you initialize ListsManager. Then, you get all lists using GetLists() and filter based on the Title property. Finally, you return the list.
Fluent API
public List GetListByTitleFluentAPI(string title)
{
List list = App.WorkWith().Lists().Where(l => l.Title == title).Get().FirstOrDefault();
return list;
}
First, you initialize the plural facade of the list using App.WorkWith().Lists(). Then, you filter based on the Title property. To get the list, you use the Get method. Finally, you return the list.
