How to select Items from List<IContent> based on the ContentType

Hi guys,

I have a list of IContent Items, I know that one of the items will be of a particular type.

Currently I am getting this Item with this code:

var result = ancestors.SingleOrDefault(x => x.ContentTypeID == 104);

I know the name of MyType how can do this without an hard coded Id?

If this number is diffrent in mulitiple enviorments the code will fail, can anyone show me how to do this?

Try this:

ancestors.OfType<MyType>().FirstOrDefault()

It should work as long as your IContent can be casted to your MyType.
