I have created a block called SectionTitleBlock with the following model and view:

    public class SectionTitleBlock : EPiServer.Core.BlockData
    {
        public virtual string Title { get; set; }

        [UIHint(Global.SiteUIHints.SectionIcon)]
        public virtual string Icon { get; set; }
    }

    public partial class SectionTitleBlockControl : BlockControlBase<SectionTitleBlock>           
{
/// If the Title has not been set, return the name of the block as it was created in CMS.
public string Title
        {
            get
            {
                if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(this.CurrentData.Title))
                {
                    var content = this.CurrentData as IContent;

                    if (content != null)
                        return content.Name;
                }

                return this.CurrentData.Title;
            }
        }
    }

I want the Title property in the view to return the name of the block when the title has not been filled out by the user on the block.

I am trying to cast this.CurrentData to IContent to retrieve the name, however the cast results in null - looking at the inheritance of the classes and interfaces this looks correct not to cast correctly.

I can cast this.CurrentData to IContentData but that still does not provide me the name of the block as it was created in CMS.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Adam
