I know the name of the layout page. Do I still have to go through this process to get the layout page?

foreach (PageLayout pl in pageLayouts)
{
if (pl.Name.Equals("MyLayout.aspx", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
  {
    currPageLayout = pl;
  }
}

I guess if I know the content type id then it can be. tonstegeman.com/Blog/Lists/Posts/… PageLayout[] layouts = publishingWeb.GetAvailablePageLayouts(contentType.Id); – Monica Contera May 12 '11 at 13:58
what is your variable pageLayouts? – Abe Miessler May 12 '11 at 15:22

Since a PageLayout is just an SPFile in an SPList (Master Page Gallery), you can get a reference to the SPFile and use the PageLayout constructor to get your PageLayout by passing in SPFile.Item

Something like this

new PageLayout(site.RootWeb.Files["webrelativeurltoyourpagelayout.aspx"].Item);

that did not work. hmm. any other suggesion(s)? – Monica Contera May 18 '11 at 17:16
Did you manage to get a valid reference to the SPFile? What value did you use for webrelativeurltoyourpagelayout.aspx? – Jaap Vossers May 24 '11 at 13:14
this worked for me: new PageLayout(site.RootWeb.GetFile("_catalogs/masterpage/newLayout.aspx").Item); – Chloraphil Feb 7 at 0:28
