Hi

How is it possible to obtain a ContentReference object from an Id in a string?

I need to run the following command:

private IContentRepository _repLoad;
_repLoad = repo; // repo is injected from constructor


IEnumerable children = _repLoad.GetChildren("content link in a string");

Thanks,

Use ContentReference.Parse("123");

I would vote for `ContentReference.TryParse()` as this method is not throwing exception in case of junk. I've read on internets that exceptions are bad for your health.
