{
}Parameters
id
Type: Guid
The id of the node.
Remarks
Returns null if no node matches the specified id.
Example
using Zengenti.Contensis.Management;
// Create a client
var client = ManagementClient.Create();
// Retrieve the relevant project
var movieDbProject = client.Projects.Get("moviedb");
// Mimic a guid id value
var nodeGuid = Guid.Parse("2c95e478-289d-4d28-8159-02a3f8de5fb4");
// Get a specific node with matching id
Node moviesNode = movieDbProject.Nodes.Get(nodeGuid);Get by string id
Gets a node by its string identifier.
Syntax
public Node Get(string id)
{
}Parameters
id
Type: string
The id of the node.
Remarks
Returns null if no node matches the specified id.
Example
using Zengenti.Contensis.Management;
// Create a client
var client = ManagementClient.Create();
// Retrieve the relevant project
var movieDbProject = client.Projects.Get("moviedb");
// Get a specific node with matching id
Node moviesNode = movieDbProject.Nodes.Get("2c95e478-289d-4d28-8159-02a3f8de5fb4");Get by Guid id async
Gets a node by its Guid identifier asynchronously.
Syntax
public async Task<Node> GetAsync(Guid id)
{
}Parameters
id
Type: Guid
The id of the node.
Remarks
Returns null if no node matches the specified id.
Example
using Zengenti.Contensis.Management;
// Create a client
var client = ManagementClient.Create();
// Retrieve the relevant project
var movieDbProject = client.Projects.Get("moviedb");
// Mimic a guid id value
var nodeGuid = Guid.Parse("2c95e478-289d-4d28-8159-02a3f8de5fb4");
// Get a specific node with matching id
Node moviesNode = await movieDbProject.Nodes.GetAsync(nodeGuid);Get by string id async
Gets a node by its string identifier asynchronously.
Syntax
public async Task<Node> GetAsync(string id)
{
}Parameters
id
Type: string
The id of the node.
Remarks
Returns null if no node matches the specified id.
Example

var movieDbProject = client.Projects.Get("moviedb");
// Get a specific node with matching id
Node moviesNode = await movieDbProject.Nodes.GetAsync("2c95e478-289d-4d28-8159-02a3f8de5fb4");Get root
Gets the root node for the project
Syntax
public Node GetRoot()
{
}Example
using Zengenti.Contensis.Management;
// Create a client
var client = ManagementClient.Create();
// Retrieve the relevant project
var movieDbProject = client.Projects.Get("moviedb");
// Get the root node for the prohect
Node rootNode = movieDbProject.Nodes.GetRoot();Get root async
Gets the root node for the project asynchronously
Syntax
public async Task<Node> GetRoot()
{
}Example
using Zengenti.Contensis.Management;
// Create a client
var client = ManagementClient.Create();
// Retrieve the relevant project
var movieDbProject = client.Projects.Get("moviedb");
// Get the root node for the project
Node rootNode = await movieDbProject.Nodes.GetRootAsync();
