# Custom Component Picker

The custom component picker lets you pick Blazor components that implement `ICustomContentComponent`. It saves the fully qualified name of the component so you can render it on the front end.

#### Example of getting value on page

```csharp
(Content!.GetValue<List<string>>("PropertyAliasHere"))
```

This returns a list of the full namespaces to the components, we have a built in component to help render custom components and it's as easy as doing this

```csharp
<RenderCustomContent 
  Content="@(Content)" 
  CustomComponents="@(Content!.GetValue<List<string>>("PropertyAliasHere"))" />
```

Where 'Content' is the current page (Or another page) that is passed to the custom components.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aptitude.gitbook.io/zaubercms/creating-a-website/current-content-properties/custom-component-picker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
