How could I create a new lead setting a required recordType using code?
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.

In the last line of code you need to change the recordtype field to recordtypeid field and instead of name give the id something as below
Lead l = new Lead(firstname='testInsertLead2', lastname='test',company='Temp Company', RecordTypeid = '<id of record type>');

This helps to avoid SOQL.
If this solves your problem, kindly mark it as the best answer.
