REST Query to Get Content Type Name

I'm just getting started learning to use the SharePoint REST interface. One of the first things I'd like to do is return the content type name for a list item in a document library (the document library is configured with several content types). From
what I've read, it looks like I need to use the $expand query option. So, my REST query looks like this:
http://localhost/_api/web/lists/Documents/Items()?&$select=ContentType/Name&$expand=ContentType/Name
But it's not working. I can't "dig" out the content type name property. In other words the $expand query option is not working. I just receive the following which includes a link to the content type:
<entry m:etag=""2"">
<id>4078e129-ac4b-44b8-b469-bcc083f2268d</id>
<category term="SP.Data.DocumentsItem" scheme="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/scheme" />
<link rel="edit" href="Web/Lists(guid'cd710fd1-057e-4ee7-b0bd-1f014218ea3e')/Items(36)" />
<link rel="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/related/ContentType" type="application/atom+xml;type=entry" title="ContentType" href="Web/Lists(guid'cd710fd1-057e-4ee7-b0bd-1f014218ea3e')/Items(36)/ContentType"
/>
<title />
<updated>2013-04-12T00:16:26Z</updated>
<author>
<name />
</author>
<content type="application/xml" />
</entry>
I've tried difference variations and if I just use "$expand=ContentType" then I get all the list items with the content type fully expanded within each item.
What am I missing?

It's been awhile since this question got asked, but I figured i'd post for anyone who happens to stumble
on it.
Try this:
http://localhost/_api/web/lists/Documents/Items(<item
id>)/ContentType?$select=Name

Select option "Show this View : in Folder of Content type : {Custom Content Type Name}" while creating view using CSOM

Hi,
I am trying to create "View" in a Document Library and need to enable following:
1. Mark as default View
2. Folders -> Show this view : in Folders of Content Type : {Custom Content Type name}
I am using following code which sets "in Folders of Content Type : " to "Folder" rather than selecting custom content type despite passing Content Type ID of custom content type.
code:
var itemContentTypes = clientContext.LoadQuery(web.AvailableContentTypes.Where(ct => ct.Name == viewContentType));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
var itemContentType = itemContentTypes.FirstOrDefault();
view.ContentTypeId = itemContentType.Id;
view.DefaultViewForContentType = true;
view.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Please highlight what seems to be missing?
Thanks
Sonal

Hi,
Before you set the content type ID for the view, you need to add the custom content type to the library firstly.
You can add the content type to library using OOTB feature “Add from existing site content types” in library settings or using Client Object Model.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
var list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listTitle);
list.ContentTypesEnabled = true;
var contentType = context.Site.RootWeb.ContentTypes.GetById("0x0120");
list.ContentTypes.AddExistingContentType(contentType);
context.ExecuteQuery();
More information about add exist content type using Client Object Model:<o:p></o:p>

Getting argument type names

Hi all,
I am doing a final year student project in constructing a visual tracing tool in java. I have a problem getting the method arguments and method argument types similar to problem posted before http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=47&thread=200408
basically every time i track the method entry event and ask for the list of argument types i get the outmof bounds exception as if there is nothing in the method arguments. But i forced values into the arguments.They are there. I cannot understand this. I trawled through the examples and trace example with the java documentation and followed their example but still no luck. The program i'm tracing is simple on below
public class testProgram{
     private String name;
     private int age;
     public testProgram(){
          setage(22);
          setName("ciaran");
     public void setage(int theAge){
          age = theAge;
     public void setName(String theName){
          name = theName;
     public static void main(String[] args ){
          testProgram aTest = new testProgram();
the tracking code is below
     public ParseMethodData(MethodEntryEvent event){
          locEvent = (LocatableEvent) event;
          Location loc = locEvent.location();
          Method meth = loc.method();
          threadRef = locEvent.thread();
          refType = loc.declaringType();
          try{
               ArrayList list =(ArrayList) meth.argumentTypeNames();
          }catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException iobe){
               iobe.printStackTrace();
Any "general" ideas would be welcome. Why are the arguments not coming out.

Hia there,
I've been looking at the jdb source code for ages now, and have had the same problems with you here. What I found was that you need to wait until a vmInterupptedEvent has been generated, otherwise you cannot access the information safely - the jvm may not have been suspended at the time that the methodentryevent was generated. This really is the case because I tested the EventHandler code in the JDB (or tty) source code. So, if you're interested in information like argument names, values and types from a methodevent, then get a list of argument type names from the method event, and when the virtual machine is suspended (i.e. a vmInterrupted event has been generated) you can safely map these to their values in the corresponding stackframe that execution is in.
There are about ten million other problems I have found with using the JDB, and stuff like that but I hope this helps. What I said worked for me, but murphy's law (most prevalent with the JDI) suggests it won't for you.
PS. So what you need to do is, implement vmInterrupted, and ensure requests are set to true for these, then use access data once this has been called.
Byee - Edd.

Is it possible to get object type name with help of key field?

can any one tell me is it really possible to get the object type name if i have only key field,
are there any tables which store the object type names & keyfield. or there are any functionmodue which gives object type name by entering keyfield.

Hello,
If the PO has workflows associated with it, there is a table SWIWIOBJCT which stores details of the workitem, object key , object type details.
If you input the object key to this table ( For ex: PO number in this case) , it will give you the corresponding object type for the object key for Workitem type F.

Using a java.io.File or java.io.FileInputStream is there any was the get the mime type of that file? I am working with a JEditorPane which loads files from a JTree, however I would like to take advantage of the tree's setContentType method for formatting...

IE Aborting Image Download with src attribute when over SSL and getting Content-Type header value image/jpg

Images are not downloaded at all and page looks broken.
The same page works fine over HTTP but shows the problem over HTTPS. Works fine in firefox and chrome.
Checked and found the problem in IE 9, 10, 11
Is it some bug in IE, I have searched the forums and searched internet. Got following but are not relevant to this case.
Resetting src of the img (Ruled out, not doing any reset)
Do not save encrypted pages to disk is checked in advanced security options (Ruled out, unchecked)
Using TLS 1.2 with SSL 2.0 (Ruled out, SSL 2.0 unchecked)
Cache-preventing headers: Cache-Control header with the tokens no-cache, no-store (Ruled out, no such headers)
Restarts due to parser reset owing XML Namespace declaration, Meta tags etc. (Ruled out, image tags are afterwards)
Thanks in advance for help!

I probably encountered the same problem.
What happens when you disable the 'Use TLS 1.0' checkbox in Internet Options, Advanced, Security, 'Use TLS 1.0'?
The only enabled option I have in IE is 'Use SSL 3.0'.

Content Types updates not getting pushed to Lists/Libraries Sharepoint 2013

Hello,
We have updated Content Type at Content Type Hub(ex. Making columns Hidden/Req...etc..). These changes are pushed to the consumer sites site level Content types but the problem is these changes are not reflecting at List/Library level Content type.
Is there a way to explicitly push down the changes ?
Best Regards, Pankaj Rana

http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/52259/how-to-update-a-deployed-content-type
perform the changes to the ContentType make sure to push changes to the lists while updating the ContentType.
For now, you might need to perform some clean-up job here, just to make sure the field is deleted from all the lists, with your Custom ContentType. Use the following PowerShell script for clean-up! Vårsegod :)
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
$site = Get-SPSite "http://your.site.com"
foreach($web in $site.AllWebs)
#iterates through all the Lists
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $web.Lists.Count; $i++)
$list = $web.Lists[$i];
$MyListContentTypes = $list.ContentTypes
if ($MyListContentTypes -ne $null)
$ct = $list.ContentTypes["You Desired Content Type Name"]
if($ct)
Write-Host "In list Content Type and deleting the field" $ct.Fields["You Field Name"].Id;
$ct.FieldLinks.Delete($ct.Fields["You Field Name"].Id)
$ct.Update()
Edit: How to push down changes to all the Content types via SharePoint Server Object Model:
using (SPWeb oWebsite = new SPSite("http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection/MyWebSite").OpenWeb())
SPList oList = oWebsite.GetList("MyWebSite/Lists/MyList");
SPFieldCollection collFields = oWebsite.Fields;
string strNewColumn = collFields.Add("MyNewColumn", SPFieldType.Text, false);
SPFieldLink oFieldLink = new SPFieldLink(fields[strNewColumn]);
SPContentType oContentType = oList.ContentTypes["Specification"];
oContentType.FieldLinks.Add(oFieldLink);
oContentType.Update(true);
Edit 2: Update a Content Type using PowerShell:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
//get the specific Root web
$spweb= Get-SPWeb "http://your.site.com"
//get the fields collection
$fields = $spWeb.Fields
//get the specific field
$field = $fields.GetFieldByInternalName("Name of you field")
//get the specific Content Types from Root Web
$contentType = $spWeb.ContentTypes["You Content Type"]
//delete a field from a Content Type
$contentType.FieldLinks.Delete($field)
//add a field to a Content Type
$contentType.FieldLinks.Add($field)
//update the Content Type and push changes to the children
$contentType.Update($true)http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/42744/how-to-add-a-field-to-a-contenttype-with-feature-upgrade-for-new-and-existing-shttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa543504%28v=office.14%29.aspx
