Remarks

Implementers of this class should override the CreateContent method(s) corresponding to the content-sources they wish to support. Note also that each of the CreateContent methods has a corresponding class-level attribute that must be specified along with the override.

There is a single instance of a given SmartContentSource created for each Windows Live Writer process. The implementation of SmartContentSource objects must therefore be stateless (the context required to carry out the responsibilities of the various methods are passed as parameters to the respective methods).
