Getting the service

If you wish to use the content service in a class, you need to use Dependency Injection (DI) in your constructor:
public class MyClass
{
private IContentService _contentService;
public MyClass(IContentService contentService)
{
_contentService = contentService;
}
}
In Razor views, you can access the content service through the @inject directive:
@inject IContentService ContentService
