public interface IEditableContent
Common interface for objects with editable contents.
Typically it is implemented by objects that also implement
the
IStreamContentAccessor
interface.
Clients may implement this interface.
Note that implementing IEditableContent
does not
automatically mean that it is editable. An object is only editable if
it implements IEditableContent
and the isEditable
method returns true
.
