Summary Class Definition

Below, we show how attributes are used to associate a content data class with its summary class:

[SummaryType(typeof(ArticleSummary))]
public class ArticleContent : PageContent, IRelatable, IHasCode
{
	[Summary]
	public string Code { get; set; }
 
	[Summary]
	public string Title { get; set; }
 
	[Summary]
	public string Category { get; set; }
 
	[Summary, UIHint("Multiline")]
	public string Intro { get; set; }
 
	public Video Video { get; set; }
 
	public ArticleContent()
	{
		BaseContent.InitialiseProperties(this);
	}
}

ArticleSummary looks like this:

[Serializable]
public class ArticleSummary : Summary
{
	public string Code { get; set; }
 
	public string Category { get; set; } 
 
	public string Intro { get; set; }
}

Notice that the ArticleSummary contains all the fields marked with the SummaryAttribute in the full content class, except for Title, which exists in the base Summary class already.
