    Create new content nodes programmatically in Umbraco 8.

    Hello,

    In Umbraco 7 I used the following code to generate code programmatically from C# (controller)

    using ContentService.CreateContent

    And following is the code for the same

           int parentID = 1100;

        var request = ContentService.CreateContent("New Node Name", parentID, ContactUsForm.ModelTypeAlias);

        request.SetValue(ContactRequestItem.GetModelPropertyType(C => C.FirstName).PropertyTypeAlias, FormModel.FirstName);

        ContentService.PublishWithStatus(request);

    Now in Umbraco 8

    it is asking for

    Udi ParentId

    getting error "Can not convert 'int' to 'Umbraco.Core.Uid' ".

    Have searched a lot, but can't find anything for Umbraco 8.

    So now the question is How we can create a node from a controller in Umbraco 8?

    Thanks BJ

    You need to pass in the Guid of the parent node.

    var parentId = new Guid("9D2B0228-4D0D-4C23-8B49-01A698857709")

    To get the guid of node you can now access it via the "Key" property of your node.

    Or go into the backend and find it on the info tab:

    Thank Matt,

    I have tried passing the same but getting error "Can not convert from System.Guid" to Umbraco.Core.Udi"

    enter image description here

    Any suggestion?

    Your intellisense is picking up the wrong method signature. Therefore you are referencing an incorrect library.

    using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;
using Umbraco.Web.Models;

public class TestController : Umbraco.Web.Mvc.RenderMvcController
{
    public IContentService _contentService { get; set; }

    public TestController(IContentService contentService)
    {
        _contentService = contentService;
    }


    public override ActionResult Index(ContentModel model)
    {
        var parentId = new Guid("3cce2545-e3ac-44ec-bf55-a52cc5965db3");
        var request = _contentService.Create("test", parentId, ContentPage.ModelTypeAlias);
        _contentService.SaveAndPublish(request);
        return View();
    }
}

    I think your using is incorrect and you are referencing Umbraco 7 libraries?

    Hi iNETZO,

    Yes, Following is my code. maybe it will help you.

      public class ___Controller : Umbraco.Web.Mvc.SurfaceController
    {
    public IContentService _contentService { get; set; }

    public ___Controller (IContentService contentService)
            {
                _contentService = contentService;
            }
   void CreateUmbracoNode()
{
     var ContentService = Services.ContentService;

var request = _contentService.Create("strNodeName", ParentNode.Key, FrmRequest.ModelTypeAlias);

request.SetValue(FrmRequest.GetModelPropertyType(C => C.UserName).Alias, "Value ");

_contentService.SaveAndPublish(request);

}

    }

    Hope it may be helpful to you.

    Hi Hassan;

    Im new with umbraco 8; but i found a post with info related to 'culture' properties that could be useful:

    Content Variant APIs examples:

    var c2 = new Content("hello world", myContentType, "en-US");

    //this will set the Spanish name

    c2.SetCultureName("hola", "es-ES");

    var result = ContentService.SaveAndPublish(c2); //will publish all cultures
