Class NestedContentManyValueConverter

Provides an implementation for IPropertyValueConverter for nested content.

Inheritance

System.Object

PropertyValueConverterBase

NestedContentValueConverterBase

Namespace: Umbraco.Web.PropertyEditors.ValueConverters

Assembly: Umbraco.Web.dll

Syntax

public class NestedContentManyValueConverter : NestedContentValueConverterBase, IPropertyValueConverter, IDiscoverable

Remarks

This is not a simple "value converter" because it really works only for properties.

Constructors

NestedContentManyValueConverter(IPublishedSnapshotAccessor, IPublishedModelFactory, IProfilingLogger)

Initializes a new instance of the NestedContentManyValueConverter class.

Declaration

public NestedContentManyValueConverter(IPublishedSnapshotAccessor publishedSnapshotAccessor, IPublishedModelFactory publishedModelFactory, IProfilingLogger proflog)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedSnapshotAccessor	publishedSnapshotAccessor
IPublishedModelFactory	publishedModelFactory
IProfilingLogger	proflog

Methods

ConvertIntermediateToObject(IPublishedElement, IPublishedPropertyType, PropertyCacheLevel, Object, Boolean)

Converts a property intermediate value to an Object value.

Declaration

public override object ConvertIntermediateToObject(IPublishedElement owner, IPublishedPropertyType propertyType, PropertyCacheLevel referenceCacheLevel, object inter, bool preview)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedElement	owner	The property set owning the property.
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.
PropertyCacheLevel	referenceCacheLevel	The reference cache level.
System.Object	inter	The intermediate value.
System.Boolean	preview	A value indicating whether conversion should take place in preview mode.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Object	The result of the conversion.

Remarks

The converter should know how to convert a null intermediate value, or any intermediate value indicating that no value has been assigned to the property. It is up to the converter to determine what to return in that case: either null, or the default value...

The referenceCacheLevel is passed to the converter so that it can be, in turn, passed to eg a PublishedFragment constructor. It is used by the fragment and the properties to manage the cache levels of property values. It is not meant to be used by the converter.

ConvertSourceToIntermediate(IPublishedElement, IPublishedPropertyType, Object, Boolean)

Converts a property source value to an intermediate value.

Declaration

public override object ConvertSourceToIntermediate(IPublishedElement owner, IPublishedPropertyType propertyType, object source, bool preview)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedElement	owner	The property set owning the property.
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.
System.Object	source	The source value.
System.Boolean	preview	A value indicating whether conversion should take place in preview mode.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Object	The result of the conversion.

Remarks

The converter should know how to convert a null source value, meaning that no value has been assigned to the property. The intermediate value can be null.

With the XML cache, source values come from the XML cache and therefore are strings.

With objects caches, source values would come from the database and therefore be either ints, DateTimes, decimals, or strings.

The converter should be prepared to handle both situations.

When source values are strings, the converter must handle empty strings, whitespace strings, and xml-whitespace strings appropriately, ie it should know whether to preserve white spaces.

GetPropertyCacheLevel(IPublishedPropertyType)

Gets the property cache level.

Declaration

public override PropertyCacheLevel GetPropertyCacheLevel(IPublishedPropertyType propertyType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.

Returns

Type	Description
PropertyCacheLevel	The property cache level.

GetPropertyValueType(IPublishedPropertyType)

Gets the type of values returned by the converter.

Declaration

public override Type GetPropertyValueType(IPublishedPropertyType propertyType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Type	The CLR type of values returned by the converter.

Remarks

Some of the CLR types may be generated, therefore this method cannot directly return a Type object (which may not exist yet). In which case it needs to return a ModelType instance.

IsConverter(IPublishedPropertyType)

Gets a value indicating whether the converter supports a property type.

Declaration

public override bool IsConverter(IPublishedPropertyType propertyType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IPublishedPropertyType	propertyType	The property type.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	A value indicating whether the converter supports a property type.
