    Best practice for getting content URLs in v7

    Quick question; in application code, what is the current best practice for getting a URL from a node ID, e.g. as returned from Examine?

    Is it still umbraco.library.NiceUrl()?

    var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
var node = umbracoHelper.TypedContent(nodeId);
if(node != null)
{
    return node.Url;
}
else
{
    return null;
}

    not sure if there's a faster way

    Hi Rob

    You are right, this is the way:

    umbraco.library.NiceUrl()

    Thanks,

    Alex

    var content= UmbracoContext.Current.ContentCache.GetById(nodeId);
 content.Url;

    Theres a NiceUrl() and NiceUrlWithDomain() method on the UmbracoHelper. I would use that.

    You can learn more about the UmbracoHelper here:

    Hi Rob,

    I would not use umbraco.library.NiceUrl because it's a legacy API. If i'm correct it will deprecated in V8

    In c# code you can use :

     UmbracoContext.Current.UrlProvider.GetUrl(id);

    In your views you can use :

    @Umbraco.Url(id)

    Perfect answer - C# plus Razor examples, exactly what I was after. Thanks Dave.

    Just as a correction to this, in your views it's not @(Umbraco.Url(id)) it's actually @(UmbracoContext.Url(id)) (Quite possible this changed since original posting)
