Interface IContentConsumer


public interface IContentConsumer

Generic content consumer. A generic content consumer is used to store plug-in and non-plug-in files for a feature.

Clients may implement this interface. However, in most cases clients will only use the content consumer provided by the feature type(s) implemented by the platform.

Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

2.0
