You can query UniformTag

On October 6th, 2009 Eric Means says:

If you have a reference to the current Content Record, you can simply use the Content object's Tags property to retrieve the list of tags.

Otherwise, you can query UniformTag (via the BOD APIs, as shown below):

using Asi.Business.ContentManagement;

UniformTagController uniformTagcontroller = UniformTagController.NewUniformTagController(Container);

DataRow[] rows = controller.SelectWithFilter(true, new BusinessFilter("UniformKey", Comparison.Equals, ContentKey);
if (!rows.IsNullOrEmpty())
{
    foreach (UniformTag uniformTag in rows)
    {
        // uniformTag.Tag contains the actual tag; you can compare its name, etc.

    }
}

    foreach (Tag tag in content.Tags)
    {
        // Check tag.Name or tag.TagKey to see if it's the tag you're interested in.
    }
}
// if page is null, then the current page is not a WCM content record and has no tags.

Error in Method

The method GetFromContentKey does not exist in that context.

It should; it's a public

It should; it's a public static method.

Try fully qualifying it (Asi.Business.ContentManagement.Content.GetFromContentKey(...)).

In WCM look for the reports menu and there's a standard report that tells you which tags have been assigned to which content records.
