Methods

CreateContent(ContentType)

Unsupported INTERNAL API! Not covered by semantic versioning; might change without notice. Creates an instance of IContent and populates the instance with properties according to the passed in ContentType.

Declaration
public virtual IContent CreateContent(ContentType contentType)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ContentType contentType

Returns
Type Description
IContent

Declaration
public virtual IContent CreateContent(ContentType contentType, BuildingContext buildingContext)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ContentType contentType

Type of the content.
BuildingContext buildingContext

The building context.
Returns
Type Description
IContent
Remarks
