Hi Brian,

On futher looking into my custom modules and the pages we have, I think, I need a way to form URLs outisde the PortalModuleBase. I have some pages, which directly extend from System.Web.UI.Page, which needs to use NavigateURL. Is there a solution? This is very critical for us to have these pages.

Ana, for now, you'll need to continue to use <code>Globals.NavigateURL</code> until we can expose the <code>DependencyProvider</code> everywhere.

For your pages, I would suggest that you convert them into DNN pages with modules. But, until you're able to do that, my secondary recommendation is to inherit from DNN's <code>PageBase</code> instead of <code>Page</code>.

In terms of generating URLs outside of a module, use the overload of <code>Globals.NavigateURL</code> that takes a <code>PortalSettings</code> and provide it a <code>PortalSettings</code> that was initialized with a <code>PortalAliasInfo</code>. Alternatively, <code>PageBase</code> exposes the current <code>PortalSettings</code> as a property, so I'd recommend using that for your pages instead of creating your own (though you will need to create your own inside the scheduled task).

I wanted to follow up now that DNN 9.6.1 has been released.  It includes dependency injection support for the scheduler, so your <code>SchedulerClient</code> implementation can now take a constructor dependency on <code>INavigationManager</code> and it will be provided automatically by the framework. Hope it helps!

I have the code working for anyhing that inherits the 'PortalsModulesBase'

However, I do not see inheritence from 'DnnApiController', is that another place you plan to implement or is there a work around to use the new interface from the DnnApiController.

EDIT:   I think you answered this in a different post.  sorry about that.  going to try that method you suggested:

"At a high level, the answer is that you'll request one from the dependency injection container. If you're using MVC controllers or Web API controllers, you can just add a parameter to your controller's constructor and the framework will supply that dependency automatically. Here's a Web API controller example:"

This worked for me using the new Navigation Interface, thanks Brian.

Public Class _Whatever_

 Inherits DnnApiController

    Private ReadOnly navigationManager As INavigationManager

    Public Sub New(ByVal navigationManager As INavigationManager)
        Me.navigationManager = navigationManager
    End Sub

....

pageUrl = navigationManager.NavigateURL(ti.TabID)
