Type Name Description
EntryIdentityResolver entryIdentityResolver

The Entry identity resolver.
NodeIdentityResolver nodeIdentityResolver

Fields

CatalogProviderKey

Default key of the CatalogContentProvider, used in the automatic registration of the content provider and in in creating EPiServer.Core.ContentReferences to catalog content in it.

Methods

GetCode(ContentReference)

Gets the code for an entry/node EPiServer.Core.ContentReference.

EPiServer.Core.ContentReference contentLink

The content link.
Returns
Type Description
System.String

The code, or null if the contentLink does not reference an existing entry/node.
Remarks

Codes used on specific versions of content are not taken into account, i.e. only the code which the node/entry was last published (or created) with will be a match.

Exceptions
Type Condition
System.ArgumentException

Thrown if contentLink is for an object other than than an entry or a node.

The content links.
CatalogContentType catalogContentType

The catalog content type.
Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<EPiServer.Core.ContentReference, System.String>

The dictionary maps between the EPiServer.Core.ContentReference(s) and the codes.

GetCodes(IEnumerable<Guid>)

Gets the entry codes from the content guids

Declaration
public virtual IEnumerable<string> GetCodes(IEnumerable<Guid> contentGuids)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Guid> contentGuids

The content guids.
Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>

The entry codes, or empty list.

GetContentLink(Int32, CatalogContentType, Int32)

Gets a EPiServer.Core.ContentReference instance with the specified commerce object ID and type encoded in the content ID.

Declaration
public virtual ContentReference GetContentLink(int objectId, CatalogContentType contentType, int versionId)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 objectId

var entryId = referenceConverter.GetObjectId(entryContent.ContentLink);

// Convert from catalog entry id to ContentReference
var entryContentLink = referenceConverter.GetEntryContentLink(entryId);
// or with version id
