ICurrentContactProvider.GetCurrentContact Method

Recognizes contact currently browsing the live site. If contact cannot be recognized a new one is created. A returned contact is always valid (exists in database, is not merged, etc.) and is automatically assigned to currentUser User (if it's not a public user). Contact can only be recognized during web request as RequestDependencies are required in request param.
