# Select the Contents of a Portfolio Folder

Marketing Cloud Engagement has a new model for storing, finding, managing, creating, sharing, and distributing all content-related objects. Access the objects created with the new Content Builder tools using the REST API. Your existing SOAP API integrations only function with the Classic tools.

This page contains information about retrieving and selecting object contained within the Portfolio and associated subfolders of an account.

## Why Select the Contents of a Portfolio Folder

You can use the Retrieve call to return information about the object contained within the Portfolio or a subfolder and use it as part of other calls, including creating and sending email messages.

## How to Select Contents of a Portfolio Folder

Use the sample code below as a model for your own call. Remember that the Portfolio contains folders; if a folder isn't specified, all Portfolio items for the account are returned.

### Sample .NET Code

```java

string requestID;
// Filter by the Folder/Category
SimpleFilterPart sfp = new SimpleFilterPart();
sfp.Property = "CategoryID";
sfp.SimpleOperator = SimpleOperators.equals;
sfp.Value = new string[] { "6437" };
// Create the RetrieveRequest object
RetrieveRequest request = new RetrieveRequest();
request.ObjectType = "Portfolio";
request.Filter = sfp;
request.Properties = new string[] { "ObjectID", "CustomerKey", "Client.ID", "CategoryID", "FileName", "DisplayName", "Description", "TypeDescription", "IsUploaded", "IsActive", "FileSizeKB", "ThumbSizeKB", "FileWidthPX", "FileHeightPX", "FileURL", "ThumbURL", "CacheClearTime"};
// Execute the Retrieve
APIObject[] results;
string status = integrationFramework.Retrieve(request, out requestID, out results);
// Output the results
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
sb.Append("Portfolio Summary");
sb.AppendFormat("\nOverall result: {0}.  RequestID: {1}", status, requestID);
// Print out results for each retrieved object
for (int cntr = 0; cntr < results.Length; cntr++)
{
    sb.Append(string.Format("\n ---- Index {0}", cntr));
    Portfolio id = results[cntr] as Portfolio;
    sb.Append("\n CategoryID: " + id.CategoryID);
    sb.Append("\n DisplayName: " + id.DisplayName);
    sb.Append("\n FileHeightPX: " + id.FileHeightPX);
    sb.Append("\n FileName: " + id.FileName);
    sb.Append("\n FileURL: " + id.FileURL);
    sb.Append("\n FileWidthPX: " + id.FileWidthPX);
    sb.Append("\n IsUploaded: " + id.IsUploaded);
    sb.Append("\n IsActive: " + id.IsActive);
    sb.Append("\n ThumbSizeKB: " + id.ThumbSizeKB);
    sb.Append("\n ThumbURL: " + id.ThumbURL);
    sb.Append("\n TypeDescription: " + id.TypeDescription);
    sb.Append("\n");
}
Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());

```
