Vegaln1 How to Display the RecordTypeId field in Visual Force page.
Hello, I would like to display the name of the RecordTypeId field in a VF page. If I use the following
<apex:outputField value="{!NewOpp.RecordTypeId}"/>
I recieve this error : RecordTypeId is a unsupported field value. However, I can display the actual Id value by using this:
<apex:outputText value="Record Type Id :{!NewOpp.RecordTypeId}"/>
but I want to Display the Name of the RecordType, for Example 'New Oportunity Record Type' and not the 18 character Id.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Regards,
<apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.RecordType.Name}"/>
But you certainly put me on the right track... thanks again.
Regards,

RecordTypeId is a reference field type, which is described in the API Dev Guide. You can drop the "Id" at the end of the reference field to access the referenced object.
In this case, you can directly access the name field of the RecordType with the following:
<apex:outputField value="{!NewOpp.RecordType.name}"/>
Thank you for your response, however, what you suggest outputs the literal 'name' and not the actual name of the RecordType.
