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 | Type of the content. |
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
Depending on type of contentType (e.g. PageType, BlockType) the suitable encapsulated factory
and builder instance will be used to create and build up an IContent instance.
