I am trying to convert some code from v7 to v8.
In the content saving event I want to create a child node onto the content that is being saved so:
IContent parent; // This is being saved.
IContent newContent = contentService.CreateContent(rule.NodeName, parent.Id, rule.DocTypeAliasToCreate);
The trouble is IContent ony has Id which is an int - I need a Udi and have no idea how to convert it to a Udi. The v7 of umbraco would accept a node id but not any more. How do I get the Udi for a IContent.Id ? IContent has a guid key but equally i have no idea how to get from that to a Udi? Thanks.
public static class ContentServiceExtensions
{
/
public static IContent CreateContent(this IContentService contentService, string name, Udi parentId, string contentTypeAlias, int userId = -1);
Thanks for the reply - but it does not work per my earlier post. I have pasted in the definition of CreateContent and you will see the [arentId parameter is a Udi - not an int. This is taken from Assembly Umbraco.Core, version 8.0.0.0.
How to call CreateContent given an IContent node which has no udi

Hi John,
parent.Id int works fine in Umbraco 8.
So, this line will work perfectly for you. IContent newContent = contentService.CreateContent(rule.NodeName, parent.Id, rule.DocTypeAliasToCreate);
Please try and let us know if you have any issues.

Hi Shaishav,
You forced me to look again. We both mentioned the wrong method CreateContent. There is indeed a CreateAndSave method that takes an int parentId
I can work with that! Thanks.
