How to determine type of Schema?

Question

I am trying retrieve a list of Normal and Multimedia Schemas from a given Publication context. So far I have:

RepositoryItemsFilter filter = new RepositoryItemsFilter(engine.GetSession());
filter.ItemTypes = new ItemType[] { ItemType.Schema };
filter.Recursive = true;

Publication pub = this.GetPublication();
foreach (Schema schema in pub.GetItems(filter))
{
    //need to further refine to only use Normal and MM schemas
}

This is usually not a problem when we are working with a Component because we just do ComponentType.Normal or ComponentType.Multimedia. But how do we do this if we only have a Schema?

Answer 1

You can get the schema.Purpose which gives you an enum (SchemaPurpose) this gives you access to all the schema types including:

• Component
• Multimedia
• Embedded
• Metadata
• Protocol
• TemplateParameters
• UnknownByClient
• VirtualFolderType
