How do I create a Sharepoint list via a feature receiver and an existing list template

I have a list template in a MOSS List Template Gallery and I need to create a list using this template from a feature receiver. This sounds really easy but I cannot find a way of doing this.

SPWeb has a GetCatalog method that returns an SPList with 1 item - my template - but it is an SPListItem and I need an SPListTemplate. How can I 'convert' the item to the correct type?

Thanks

Use the GetCustomListTemplates method of the SPSite object to get the SPListTemplate object representing your custom template. Then use the SPListCollection.Add method to create a new list from this template. In code this would look something like this:

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://server/sites/site"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
  SPListTemplateCollection templates = site.GetCustomListTemplates(web);
  SPListTemplate template = templates["MyTemplates"];
  Guid listId = web.Lists.Add("Title", "Description", template);
}
