Content Link

A ContentLink is a mirror of another content. It propagates most of the fields of the referenced content. This content type is useful when you want to display a content somewhere else in the content tree but want to manage changes in a single place, so a copy would not be sufficient.

Features

Any content can be a reference regardless of its type.
The link shows the attributes of the set reference.
Editing or deleting the link does not affect the reference content.

Parent type

GenericContent

Content handler

SenseNet.ContentRepository.ContentLink
