Article
07/24/2014

Gets a collection of PageLayout objects from the master page gallery of the RootWeb() property that has a AssociatedContentType property that matches a specific SPContentType object.

Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing (in Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetPageLayouts ( _
    associatedContentType As SPContentType, _
    excludeObsolete As Boolean _
) As PageLayoutCollection
'Usage
Dim instance As PublishingSite
Dim associatedContentType As SPContentType
Dim excludeObsolete As Boolean
Dim returnValue As PageLayoutCollection

returnValue = instance.GetPageLayouts(associatedContentType, _
    excludeObsolete)

public PageLayoutCollection GetPageLayouts(
    SPContentType associatedContentType,
    bool excludeObsolete
)

Parameters

associatedContentType
Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentType

SPContentType object to match against the AssociatedContentType property values of the PageLayout objects returned in the collection.

excludeObsolete
Type: System.Boolean

Boolean flag that indicates whether to exclude PageLayout objects that are marked as hidden.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PageLayoutCollection
A collection of PageLayout objects from the master page gallery of the RootWeb property that have an AssociatedContentType property that matches a specific SPContentType object.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Indicates that the associatedContentType parameter is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), which is not valid.

Remarks

The associatedContentType parameter must not be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). If the excludeObsolete parameter is set to true, obsolete PageLayout objects that have been marked as hidden are not returned in the collection. If the excludeObsolete parameter is set to false, obsolete PageLayout objects are included in the collection.
