Namespace ToSic.Sxc.Context

Context information for the current request / scenario.

The Context gives your code information about the page / site / module etc. it's currently running in. All your code (Razor, WebApi) will have a property CmsContext which is of type ICmsContext.

Note

Your code will always have these objects, but they may sometimes be referencing unknown information. For example, if the current context doesn't have a known Module (like in API scenarios) then CmsContext.Module will return a valid object, but the ID will be < 0.
