Hi Sandeep,

From what I could understand in Second block you want to show MarketBlock? If that is a case in Second block you need "ContentArea" as below:

public virtual ContentArea Market {get;set;}

And admin can drag and drop an instance of the Market block into that Second block content area you created. Other, way is to have Market block property as below:

public virtual Market Market {get;set;}

That means per each Second block instance you will have an instance of Marke means you can't re-use.

if(currentBlock.BlockContentArea != null && currentBlock.BlockContentArea.Items.Any())

{

foreach (var contentItem in currentBlock.BlockContentArea.Items)
{

var contentLoader = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentLoader>();
var contentOfBlock = contentLoader.Get<IContentData>(contentItem.ContentLink)

}
