msb-appsupport1.3905906418879758E12 How to set recordtype name when creating a new lead
I want to use Apex code and visualforce page to create a new lead.
In web, I need to choose a record type before I create a new lead. And there are three types of leads.
In visualforce page, I want to create a new lead with assigned record type using code.
The confusion for me is that the recordType is related list for the lead. I could extract a list of record type by the following.
for (list<RecordType> rts : [SELECT ID, name FROM RecordType WHERE SObjectType = 'Lead' Order by name])
However, I could not pull out the recordType for a lead by the following, since the recordType is related list.
Lead l = [SELECT RecordType FROM LEAD].
Besides, what I want is create a new lead like below.
Lead l = new Lead(firstname='testInsertLead2', lastname='test',company='Temp Company', RecordType = 'registration type lead');
Could anyone help me with this to access the related list using apex code or visualforce page?
Thanks a lot.

Try the following it will be user friendly
Map<String,Id> recordtypeMap = new Map<String,Id>();
for(Record Type leadRT : [select id, Name from RecordType where SObjectType = 'Lead' ]){
recordtypeMap.put(leadRT.Name,leadRT.Id);
//you can create lead by following
Lead l = new Lead(firstname='testInsertLead2', lastname='test',company='Temp Company', RecordTypeId = recordtypeMap.get('registration type lead'));
// be sure to enter record type name correctly other wise it would give an error.
