How to know the ContentTypeId of a content type made with the Sharepoint interface

content-typesharepointworkflow

I am working on a workflow in VS which creates a task with content type.
The content type I want to use is a custom content type made with the SharePoint interface.

Is there a way to know this content type's Id so I can use it in my workflow?

If not; is there an alternative how to initiate a task containing this content type with my workflow code in VS?

Best Answer

You can see the ID of the content type in the url when looking at a content type in "Site Settings > Site Content Type Gallery". The url will be something like:

http://litwaredemo/_layouts/ManageContentType.aspx?ctype=0x010132165465465464654654654

The last part is the Content Type Id.

Proper MIME media type for PDF files

The standard Media Type (formerly known as MIME types) is application/pdf. The assignment is defined in RFC 3778, The application/pdf Media Type, referenced from the Media Types registry.

Media Types are controlled by a standards body, The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). This is the same organization that manages the root name servers and the IP address space.

The use of x-pdf predates the standardization of the Media Type for PDF. Media Types in the x- namespace are considered experimental, just as those in the vnd. namespace are considered vendor-specific. x-pdf might be used for compatibility with old software.
