I want to read an XML file that contains a reference to another asset, say a texture, load the texture at compile time, and store that asset along with some useful metadata:

public class ImageImport : IContent{   protected string path;   protected Vector2 origin, thumbGrid;   public string Path   {      get { return path; }      set { path = value; }   }   public Vector2 Origin   {      get { return origin; }      set { origin = value; }   }   public Vector2 ThumbGrid   {      get { return thumbGrid; }      set { thumbGrid = value; }   }   public void ReadContent(ContentReader input)   {      path = input.ReadString();      origin = input.ReadVector2();      thumbGrid = input.ReadVector2();   }   public void WriteContent(ContentWriter output) { }}public class ImageContent : IContent{   protected Texture2D image;   protected Vector2 origin, thumbGrid;   public Texture2D Image   {      get { return image; }      set { image = value; }   }   public Vector2 Origin   {      get { return origin; }      set { origin = value; }   }   public Vector2 ThumbGrid   {      get { return thumbGrid; }      set { thumbGrid = value; }   }   [ContentSerializerIgnore]   public int Width   {      get { return image.Width; }   }   [ContentSerializerIgnore]   public int Height   {      get { return image.Height; }   }   public void ReadContent(ContentReader input)   {      image = input.ReadObject<Texture2D>();      origin = input.ReadVector2();      thumbGrid = input.ReadVector2();   }   public void WriteContent(ContentWriter output)   {      output.WriteObject<Texture2D>(image);      output.Write(origin);      output.Write(thumbGrid);   }}

I described IContent and its use in an earlier post. Since the input content is basic xml, I shouldn't need an importer. What I need is a content processor:

[ContentProcessor (DisplayName = "TileContent.ImageProcessor")]public class ImageProcessor : ContentProcessor<ImageImport, ImageContent>{   public override ImageContent Process(ImageImport input,       ContentProcessorContext context)   {      ImageContent ic = new ImageContent();      ic.Origin = input.Origin;      ic.ThumbGrid = input.ThumbGrid;      var imageref = new ExternalReference<Texture2D>(input.Path);      ic.Image = context.BuildAndLoadAsset<Texture2D,Texture2D>(         imageref,          "TextureProcessor");   }}

Am I doing this right?
