Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

A master is an instance of a template much like an item. When an item is created from a master, the master is copied into the new item which receives all the field values from the master. A master may contain subitems that are created whenever an item is created from a master.

The AddTo method create a new item based on the master to another item.

Example

This example creates a new item.

public Item AddItem(Item parent, string name) {
  Item result = null;

  MasterItem master = Sitecore.Context.Database.Masters["Document"];
  
  if (master != null) {
    result = parent.Add(name, master);
  }

  return result;
}

The following example retrieves the master item. This can also be done by using the Master property.

{{
public MasterItem GetMaster(Item item) {
  MasterItem result = item.Database.Masters[item.MasterID];
  return result;
}
}}
