Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property IsUrlToList As Boolean
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As SPContentTypeUsage
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.IsUrlToList

public bool IsUrlToList { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the Url property contains a server-relative URL to the root folder of a list; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The value of this property can help you interpret the value of the Url property. For site content types, the Url property returns a server-relative URL for the Web site. For list content types, the Url property returns a server-relative URL for the root folder of the list.

Examples

The following example shows a console application that gets the usage collection for the built-in content type Folder. For each item in the collection, the application determines if the value of the Url property is for a list or for a site, and then prints that information, along with the URL, to the console.

Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports Microsoft.SharePoint

Module ConsoleApp
   Sub Main()
      Using siteCollection As SPSite = New SPSite("https://localhost")
         Using rootWeb As SPWeb = siteCollection.RootWeb

            ' Get the content type.
            Dim contentType As SPContentType = _
               rootWeb.AvailableContentTypes(SPBuiltInContentTypeId.Folder)

            ' Get the usage collection.
            Dim usages As IList(Of SPContentTypeUsage) = _
               SPContentTypeUsage.GetUsages(contentType)

            For Each usage As SPContentTypeUsage In usages
               Console.WriteLine(vbCrLf + "{0} content type", _
                                 IIf(usage.IsUrlToList, "List", "Site"))
               Console.WriteLine("URL: {0}", usage.Url)
            Next usage

         End Using
      End Using
      Console.Write(vbCrLf + "Press ENTER to continue...")
      Console.ReadLine()
   End Sub

End Module

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;

namespace Test
{
   class ConsoleApp
   {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("https://localhost"))
         {
            using (SPWeb rootWeb = siteCollection.RootWeb)
            {
               // Get the content type.
               SPContentType contentType =
                  rootWeb.AvailableContentTypes[SPBuiltInContentTypeId.Folder];

               //Get the usage collection.
               IList<SPContentTypeUsage> usages = SPContentTypeUsage.GetUsages(contentType);

               foreach (SPContentTypeUsage usage in usages)
               {
                  Console.WriteLine("\n{0} content type.", usage.IsUrlToList ? "List" : "Site");
                  Console.WriteLine("URL: {0}", usage.Url);
               }
            }
         }
         Console.Write("\nPress ENTER to continue...");
         Console.ReadLine();
      }
   }
}

When the application is run against a very modest Web site, it prints the following output to the console.
