Extension methods for obtaining ContentReference from LinkItem and Url

(for EPiServer 8+)

…two simplified methods to cover LinkItem and Url:

public static ContentReference ToContentReference(this LinkItem linkItem)
        {
            if (linkItem == null)
                return ContentReference.EmptyReference;

            var content = UrlResolver.Current.Route(new UrlBuilder(linkItem.Href));
            return content != null ? content.ContentLink : ContentReference.EmptyReference;
        }

And

public static ContentReference ToContentReference(this Url url)
        {
            if (url == null)
                return ContentReference.EmptyReference;

            var content = UrlResolver.Current.Route(new UrlBuilder(url));
            return content != null ? content.ContentLink : ContentReference.EmptyReference;
        }

asp.net mvc – razor views are not giving compile time error – Stack Overflow

Razor views are dynamically compiled by the ASP.NET runtime. If you want your views to be built at compile-time you could add the following option to your .csproj file:
<PropertyGroup>
<MvcBuildViews>true</MvcBuildViews>
</PropertyGroup>

You may take a look at the this article for more details.

The Onion Architecture : part 1 : Jeffrey Palermo (.com)

I’ve spoken several times about a specific type of architecture I call “Onion Architecture”. I’ve found that it leads to more maintainable applications since it emphasizes separation of concerns throughout the system. I must set the context for the use of this architecture before proceeding. This architecture is not appropriate for small websites. It is appropriate for long-lived business applications as well as applications with complex behavior. It emphasizes the use of interfaces for behavior contracts, and it forces the externalization of infrastructure.

PermanentLinkMapStore.TryToMapped and PermanentLinkUtility.GetContentReference not working after EPiServer 9 Upgrade

Upgrading EPiServer 8 to 9 might result in this warning:

Warning CS0618 ‘PermanentLinkMapStore.TryToMapped(string, out string)’ is obsolete: ‘This method only supports classic/mapped url’s which are no longer used since 8.0 – use PermanentLinkUtility.GetGuid(url) to get the unique ID from an URL’

How to solve warning:

You can try:

EPiServer.Web.Routing.UrlResolver.Current.GetPermanent();

or

EPiServer.Web.Routing.UrlResolver.Current.TryToPermanent();

to get a permanent link
