Hi,
]
I am using the latest version of episerver through nuget package ii.e. 8.8.0.0.
I have a requirement to access folder structure which contains shared blocks and each block has content area which contains nested block and are of type CategoryBlock. A
My folder under Block asset pane are
Navigation Folder -> has one navigation block which has a content area, and each content area, has nested blocks.

Question is to pick the Navigation Block from Navigation folder, Can I access the that directly rather than dragging this shared block to any page.
Basically I would like to access the block using the Folder structure i.e. Navigation Folder.
Can you suggest a code snippet please?
Hope i have explained it well.

Thanks,
Naz

The media and folder structure is IContent. If you go into admin mode and set access rights you can navigate the strucutre to get the id of your folder.

I did a small tool last year for copying blocks from a folder wich might give you some help on the way. Im not sure wich version of EPi that I used so accessing folders and loading blocks might have changed.
