Hello, I can confirm this issue. I tested the code and found the following. image

parameter: contentTypeId, "0x01" parameter: contentTypeCollection, default contenttype collection of a SPlist

In the first iteration, CountCommonBytes results with commonBytes = 0. Therefore first if is false, program runs into the next if. There bestMatch value is null and thats the reason, why we get a Object reference not set.

@KaushalKhamar If you really need this function, copy paste it and fix it for yourself.
