Read(String pathToFile)

Called to when importing a file, file should be parsed and converted to a valid RenderContent object.

RegisterSerializer(Guid id)

Register the RenderContentSerializer

ReportContentAndFile(RenderContent renderContent,String pathToFile,Int32 flags)

This is called from your implementation of LoadMultiple() to add a content and the file it was loaded from when the LoadMultipleFlags.Preload flag is NOT set. See LoadMultiple() for an explanation of this method's use.

ReportDeferredContentAndFile(RenderContent renderContent,String pathToFile,Int32 flags)

This is called from your implementation of LoadMultiple() to add a 'deferred' content and the file it will be loaded from when the LoadMultipleFlags.Preload flag is set. See LoadMultiple() for an explanation of this method's use. \param c is the deferred content. \param wszFullPath is the full path to the file that 'c' will be loaded from. \param flags is reserved for future use; you should pass zero. \param pReserved is reserved for future use; you should pass nullptr. */
