Make block available in edit mode just for a specific block type
You can have a look at AllowedTypes attribute that might solve your problem.

@Khurram Yeah, I am using that already but the slider item block still shows up for every content area without allowed types set. So I want to specify for the slider item block that it can only be added to the carousel slider block if that is possible.

The easiest way is probably to use RestrictedTypes on the content areas I'm afraid. Don't think you can specify that on the block...
[AllowedTypes(AllowedTypes = new [] { typeof(BlockData) }, RestrictedTypes = new [] { typeof(EditorialBlock) })]
public virtual ContentArea RelatedContentArea { get; set; }

RestrictedTypes is part of AllowedTypes attribute, that is what I meant when I said look into AllowedTypes attribute. It works with ContentArea and you can place any kind of content type including Blocktypes in Restricted types.

Hi Marcus, can you share the detailed process for creating the carousel slider block. I tried creating it by following this link https://world.episerver.com/blogs/egandalf/dates/2015/4/building-a-carousel-using-global-razor-templates-in-episerver-mvc/ , but i din't understand the procedure given.

I have made a carousel slider block in which I use slider item blocks. Right now, the slider item blocks are available from everywhere but I want to restrict it so that it is only available in the carousel slider block. How can this be done?
