How to convert GUID of page to an URL

Lennard van Diggelen asked on September 12, 2016 12:26

Hi There,

I have made a custom webpart with a property that has a form control of a page selector. In my ascx.cs file I get the GUID of the page which works fine, but I need the URL. How do I convert this GUID to an URL so I can place it in my webparts?

hope to hear from you!

One way of accomplishing this:

var nodeId = TreePathUtils.GetNodeIdByNodeGUID(YourGUID, SiteContext.CurrentSiteName);
var node = TreeHelper.SelectSingleNode(nodeId);

You can then access the properties on the TreeNode object (node), such as NodeAliasPath, RelativeURL and AbsoluteURL.

An alternative is to use a URL Selector vs. the Document Selector. You can get everything you need with the URL to display in another repeater if needed vs. another call.

Brenden, the URL select just stores the URL. What happens when that changes? Isn't it best practice to store the NodeGUID which will never change and just resolve that to a URL through a custom function?
