# Create content programmatically

In the example below, a new page is programmatically created using the content service. It is assumed that there are two document types, namely Catalogue and Product. In this case, a new Product is added underneath the Catalogue page. Add the below code in the Catalogue template.

````csharp
// Get access to ContentService - Add this at the top of your razor view
@inject IContentService ContentService
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services

// Add this anywhere in your Catalogue template
@{
    // Create a variable for the GUID of the parent page - Catalogue, where you want to add a child item.
    var parentId = Guid.Parse("b6fbbb31-a77f-4f9c-85f7-2dc4835c7f31");

    // Create a new child item of type 'Product'
    var demoproduct = ContentService.Create("Microphone", parentId, "product"); 

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'category'
    demoproduct.SetValue("category" , "audio");

    // Set the value of the property with alias 'price'
    demoproduct.SetValue("price", "1500");

    // Save and publish the child item
    ContentService.SaveAndPublish(demoproduct);
    ```
}

In a multilanguage setup, it is necessary to set the name of the content item for a specified culture:

```csharp
demoproduct.SetCultureName("Microphone", "en-us"); // this will set the english name
demoproduct.SetCultureName("Mikrofon", "da"); // this will set the danish name
````

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/13.latest/reference/management/services/contentservice/create-content-programmatically.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
