Property Value

A ContentFormatter object representing the content formatter for the notification class.

Remarks

Each notification class has one content formatter. The content formatter can perform different formatting based on notification field values.

The built-in Extensible Stylesheet Language Transform (XSLT) content formatter can use different XSLT files based on the notification's subscriber device and locale. For more information about the standard XSLT content formatter, see XSLT Content Formatter.

Example

The following examples show how to define an XSLT content formatter and add it to a notification class:

// Add the XSLT content formatter to the notification class
ContentFormatter contentFormatter = 
    new ContentFormatter(flightNotifications, "XsltFormatter");

// Define content formatter arguments
ContentFormatterArgument contentFormatterArgument1 = 
    new ContentFormatterArgument(
    contentFormatter, "XsltBaseDirectoryPath");
contentFormatterArgument1.Value = @"C:\NS\Full\XSLFiles";
ContentFormatterArgument contentFormatterArgument2 = 
    new ContentFormatterArgument(contentFormatter, "XsltFileName");
contentFormatterArgument2.Value = "NoOp.xslt";

// Add arguments to content formatter
contentFormatter.ContentFormatterArguments.Add(
    contentFormatterArgument1);
contentFormatter.ContentFormatterArguments.Add(
    contentFormatterArgument2);

// Assign the content formatter to the notification class
flightNotifications.ContentFormatter = contentFormatter;

' Add the XSLT content formatter to the notification class
Dim contentFormatter As ContentFormatter = _
    New ContentFormatter(flightNotifications, "XsltFormatter")

' Define content formatter arguments
Dim contentFormatterArgument1 As ContentFormatterArgument = _
    New ContentFormatterArgument(contentFormatter, _
    "XsltBaseDirectoryPath")
contentFormatterArgument1.Value = "C:\NS\Full\XSLFiles"
Dim contentFormatterArgument2 As ContentFormatterArgument = _
    New ContentFormatterArgument(contentFormatter, _
    "XsltFileName")
contentFormatterArgument2.Value = "NoOp.xslt"

' Add arguments to content formatter
contentFormatter.ContentFormatterArguments.Add( _
    contentFormatterArgument1)
contentFormatter.ContentFormatterArguments.Add( _
    contentFormatterArgument2)

' Assign the content formatter to the notification class
flightNotifications.ContentFormatter = contentFormatter
