Manages the Writer used to create the native file as well as a set of INativeExtractionContentProcessor components that process the input before it is passed to the writer.

The input is received on the Input content handler.

Namespace: SdlSdl.FileTypeSupportFrameworkNativeApi

Assembly: Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.Core.dll

Properties

ContentProcessors

The content processors that act on the input content before it is passed to the writer, in the order in which they will be invoked.

Use AddProcessor(INativeGenerationContentProcessor), InsertProcessor(int, INativeGenerationContentProcessor), and RemoveProcessor(INativeGenerationContentProcessor) to modify the collection.

Declaration

IEnumerable<INativeGenerationContentProcessor> ContentProcessors { get; }

Input

This is the content handler that is used to drive the native file writer with its content processors.

Declaration
