I am planning to upgrade my DNN site (WebForms) from 9.1.1 to 9.4.4. I am doing a test run on local machine. After I upgraded I see the following warning when I compiled my custom modules. Going to NaviagateURL documentation doesn't give any information on what replaced it. What replaced it?

Globals.NavigateURL(int, string, params string[])' is obsolete: 'Deprecated in Platform 9.4.2. Scheduled removal in v11.0.0.

Ana, I believe that post is https://dnncommunity.org/forums/aft/794. The short version is to use <code>INavigationManager.NavigateURL</code> instead. You'll need to use Dependency Injection to access an implementation of the <code>INavigationManager</code> interface.

Hope it helps!

Thanks Brian! I am trying get the example you pointed compile and I am getting errors about netstandard. What am I missing?

CS0012    The type 'IServiceProvider' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'

You'll need to make sure your project is referencing .NET 4.7.2 (or later), and that you have the right version of the DotNetNuke.Abstractions and DotNetNuke.DependepcyInjection NuGet packages.

I have the following in packages.config (site is not letting me copy paste the config file contents):
 

  DotNetNuke.Core, version 9.4.0.156-alpha, targetFramework net472
  DotNetNuke.DependencyInjection, 9.4.0.156-alpha, net472
  Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection, 2.1.1, net472
 icrosoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions, 2.1.1, net472

And target framework is .NET Framework 4.7.2.

You'll want to reference the 9.4.4 packages for DNN.  According to https://github.com/dotnet...uecomment-349163872, you may need to update Visual Studio, and it may help to add a <code>Reference Include="netstandard"</code> line into your project file.

Thanks Brian, I updated my Visual Studio and everything compiles fine. But, I use Globals.NavigateURL in schedulers which don't extend PortalModuleBase. Also, in few of the modules we have a static methods which return the URL using Globals.NavigateURL, which can be accessed both by Schedulers, ascx. Is there a way to get hold of INavigationManager instance in these scenarios?

Ana, there doesn't appear to be a way in DNN 9.5.0 for you to access an INavigationProvider instance from a scheduled task. Thank to your post, we'll investigate and provide a resolution. You can follow progress at https://github.com/dnnsof...Platform/issues/3602
