    Testing 7.3 - ContentService c = new ContentService();

    I am currently testing Umbraco 7.3

    The following line causes an error which didnt happen in previous versions:

    ContentService c = new ContentService();
    

    The error is:

    'Umbraco.Core.Services.ContentService' does not contain a constructor that takes 0 arguments

    Anyone know why this no longer works in 7.3.

    Cheers,

    Marc

    Hi

    the Public empty constructor for ContentService appears to have gone in 7.3 the only constructor is now

     public ContentService(
                IDatabaseUnitOfWorkProvider provider,
                RepositoryFactory repositoryFactory,
                ILogger logger,
                IEventMessagesFactory eventMessagesFactory,
                IPublishingStrategy publishingStrategy,
                IDataTypeService dataTypeService,
                IUserService userService)
    

    which means you need a lot of other stuff to call it

    However i think calling ContentService this way is really only used when runing through the tests.

    if you want to get to a version of content service for the current umbraco instance you should call

    var contentService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
    

    You will then have an instance of content service you can do anything you need to with.

    I'm still unclear how to call ContentService from, say, a Partial View Macro, where I'd previously had just:

    var cs = new ContentService();
    

    I've tried the full ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService line but that throws errors also (cannot be accessed with an Instance reference).

    Erid,

    Do you have the @using Umbraco.Core set?

    Take a look at how I've been using the CS in my instance here if that helps?
