Not a issue.. about modelsbuilder.original

What do you exactly mean by "the right type"? Is it the CLR type of each property, eg property "MyTitle" is an IHtmlString? Then, you need to retrieve the PublishedPropertyType for the property: it has a ClrType property which returns a Type object describing the CLR type of the property.

I'm not using the PublishedProperty for getting the data. I'm getting the datatype like this

IDataTypeDefinition dataType = umbracoContext.Application.Services.DataTypeService.GetDataTypeDefinitionByPropertyEditorAlias(propertyType.PropertyEditorAlias).First();

And from that i only can find a dataType.DatabaseType but nowhere a CLR type? I've searched the Umbraco source code but can't really find it. How do you find the object type?

[zpqrtbnk]

You need to switch from the "database" world over to the "published content" world. Assuming that "contentTypeAlias" is the alias of your content type, and "propertyTypeAlias" the alias of your property type, you'll want to do something like PublishedContentType.Get("contentTypeAlias").GetPropertyType("propertyTypeAlias")... and the object that's returned has a ClrType property which is I believe the type you're looking for.

I can't find that object as a method? I've tried now to find it in the umbracoContext.Application.Services.ContentService and umbracoContext.Application.Services.ContentTypeService but nowhere a ClrType..

Umbraco source found it.. but still a error
new Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.PublishedPropertyType(contentType, propertyType).ClrType;

it need a PublishedContentType and i got a ContentType..

[zpqrtbnk]

The full type name is Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.PublishedContentType. Has a public static method named Get that you should call to get the type. Do NOT "new" a published content type nor a published property type. Get the type, get the property from the type, get the ClrType from the property.

Got it! Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.PublishedContentType.Get(publishedItemType, contentType.Alias).GetPropertyType(propertyType.Alias).ClrType;

The problem wat i had a static method Umbraco in my class so he can't find the namespace.. stupid me!

Much thanks!
