Cannot save content with an empty name
I have a simple method in surface controller after form submit, which has a file upload and name and email, but after saveandpulish, i get this error that "Cannot save content with an empty name"
```
content.SetValue("entry", model.FileUpload);

        contentService.SaveAndPublish(content);
```
Any help regarding what am i missing? this worked fine in umbraco 7 for me

You must provide a name for the content object you're trying to save. In Umbraco 8 you have multiple ways to do that:
```
contentService.Create("Name here", -1, "contentTypeAlias");
```
When you have multiple cultures configured, you can use:
```
content.SetCultureName("Name here", "en-US");
```

Thanks Corné for response, my current code looks like this:

IContentService contentService = Services.ContentService;
var content = contentService.CreateContent("samplename", udi, sample.ModelTypeAlias);
content.SetValue("entry", model.FileUpload);

 contentService.SaveAndPublish(content);

If you can please correct me in what i am missing here

I assume you've multiple languages configured?

Then I think you should use the SetCultureName() extension on the IContent object for at least the required languages.

Hi Rabea,

The methods in V8's IContentService allow you to specify a culture. :) Try the following:

IContentService contentService = Services.ContentService;
var content = contentService.CreateContent("samplename", udi, sample.ModelTypeAlias);
content.SetValue("field", "value", "en-US");

contentService.SaveAndPublish(content, "en-US");

This was helpful. Where can one find documentation for V8 Services.ContentService? (I have been looking, but possibly not carefully enough. Everything I turn up is pre-8)
