PageReference.ParseUrl not working after upgrade to 8.8.0

I have an EPiServer.Url propertyon one of my block types.

In version 7.15 I used to be able to parse out the PageReference this Url represented. and if it was a CMS use another extension method to render the simple address for the page.

I have upgraded from this version to 8.8.0 and now it fails to parse the Url property to extract the PageReference.

var pageReference = PageReference.ParseUrl(MyUrlProperty.ToString());

I noticed that the 7.15 url property is in the format: /link/486c6b7755d34e219d0afa93123ff9b9.aspx?id=9021

whereas the 8.8.0 is in the format: /link/486c6b7755d34e219d0afa93123ff9b9.aspx

So it looks like its dropped the ?id= query parameter.

Is there a new way to parse these EPiServer.Url properties ? any advise on how to continue to process them as I have been doing ? i.e. transforming to PageData if possible so I can render its simple address ?

regards,

Danny

UrlResolver is your new friend I think

Ok,

Thanks Dan for the reply.

Do you know what methods exactly I need to use on UrlResolver to get if possible a PageData object from an EPiServer.Url property ?

UrlResolver.Route(urlBuilder) returns an IContent which you can cast to PageData

<p>Yup, UrlResolver is your way to convert back and forth between urls and IContent. Put in one thing and get the other :)</p> <p>Route to get IContent and GetUrl to ...get url :)</p>
