通过从SPListTemplateType枚举中的值获取SPList

Question

I am working on an older project from 2009 and there is something like

SPList tasksList = web.Lists["Tasks"]

which was used to get the SPList . But because of language troubles we couldn't write "Tasks".

I would like to replace "Tasks" with 107 or even better the SPListTemplateType enumeration , such as

SPList tasksList = web.Lists[SPListTemplateType.Tasks];

Which does not work because Lists expects a GUID but it is unclear how to achieve that.

You can use the BaseTemplate property in a LINQ query:

SPList tasksList = 
                 web.Lists
                    .Cast<SPList>()
                    .FirstOrDefault(list => list.BaseTemplate == SPListTemplateType.Tasks);
