Interface IPageSource

Interface for providers of PageData objects.

Namespace: EPiServer.Core
Assembly: EPiServer.dll
Version: 9.12.2
Syntax
public interface IPageSource

Properties

CurrentPage

Gets the currently loaded PageData.

Declaration
PageData CurrentPage { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
PageData

Returns information about the currently loaded page, or a page in a collection when used inside a control.
Remarks

The implementation of CurrentPage is strictly up to the implementing class. Some of the templated Web controls implement IPageSource, and CurrentPage will typically refer to the current page being iterated in a collection or an array.

Another implementor is the PageBase class or one of it's subclasses like SimplePage or TemplatePage. CurrentPage in the context of PageBase refers to the currently displayed page.

CurrentPage may be null on sources that aren't connected through PageBase.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the usage of CurrentPage.

Response.Write(CurrentPage.PageName);
