Remarks

Some of the templated Web controls implement IContentSource, and CurrentContent
will typically refer to the current content being iterated in a collection or an array.
Another implementor is the PageBase class or one of it's subclasses like
SimplePage or TemplatePage.
CurrentContent in the context of PageBase refers to the currently
displayed content.
CurrentContent may be null on sources that aren't connected through ContentWebForm.
