A content instance that implements `EPiServer.Core.IResourceable` stores related assets in an instance of `EPiServer.Core.ContentAssetFolder`. Resources stored as content assets are considered exclusive assets for that content instance; you cannot select them from other content instances.

The following example shows how to get an existing assets folder or create one automatically:

```csharp
contentAssetHelper = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ContentAssetHelper>();
var contentAssetFolder = contentAssetHelper.GetOrCreateAssetFolder(myContentLink);
```
