If I have an instance of my parent Dynamic Type, and that object has 3 child items, how do I get those in the API??

I see "SystemChildItems" and "SystemHasChildItems"

But neither show any items, when the UI shows 3

Hello Steve,

Here are some documentation articles that should help you get started with hierarchical content types.

Just wondering, can a child item have multiple parent items?

EG, if the parent item is a contact list and the child item is a contact, can the contact be the child of more than one contact list?

Hello Andy,

Items can have more than one parent but you need to add some custom modifications. In the content types that need to refer to your specific content type add guids or array of guid fields that keep the item ids of the content type they refer. You can use this blog post to help you get started. It requires some custom development but still you can get some pretty nice results. We will definitely have this implemented for future releases but for now using sitefinity backend UI you can only set up items that have one parent.

To speed up the development process I suggest you to use Sitefinity Thunder Visual Studio extension.
