Class ExternalReference<T>

Namespace

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.Pipeline

Assembly

MonoGame.Framework.Content.Pipeline.dll

Specifies external references to a data file for the content item.

While the object model is instantiated, reference file names are absolute. When the file containing the external reference is serialized to disk, file names are relative to the file. This allows movement of the content tree to a different location without breaking internal links.
