Constructors

MediaType(Int32)

Constuctor for creating a MediaType with the parent's id.

Type	Name	Description
System.Int32	parentId

Only use this for creating MediaTypes at the root (with ParentId -1).

MediaType(IMediaType)

Constuctor for creating a MediaType with the parent as an inherited type.

Declaration

public MediaType(IMediaType parent)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IMediaType	parent

Fields

SupportsPublishingConst

Declaration

public const bool SupportsPublishingConst = false

Field Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Properties

SupportsPublishing

Gets a value indicating whether the content type supports publishing.

Declaration

public override bool SupportsPublishing { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Remarks

A publishing content type supports draft and published values for properties. It is possible to retrieve either the draft (default) or published value of a property. Setting the value always sets the draft value, which then needs to be published.

A non-publishing content type only supports one value for properties. Getting the draft or published value of a property returns the same thing, and publishing a value property has no effect.

Methods

ToSimple()

Gets an ISimpleContentType corresponding to this content type.

Declaration

public override ISimpleContentType ToSimple()

Returns

Type	Description
ISimpleContentType
