Methods

ConvertToExternal(UrlBuilder, Object, Encoding)

Converts from internal, without regard to the context of internal/external URL.

Declaration
public override bool ConvertToExternal(UrlBuilder url, object internalObject, Encoding toEncoding)
Parameters
Type Name Description
UrlBuilder url

The URL.

System.Object internalObject

An optional internal representation of the URL, typically a PageReference

System.Text.Encoding toEncoding

The current encoding

Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

true if any modifications were made

Overrides
Remarks

When converting to external, we may need to change the encoding used for escaped characters in the URL to conform to response encoding requirements which may differ from the internally stored format - which should always be UTF-8.

ConvertToExternalInternal(UrlBuilder, Object, Encoding)

Converts from internal EPiServer classic to the external 'friendly' URL representation. This is the only method that defines this mapping. It includes all globally valid rules for this transformation in the context of EPiServer, but not rules dependent on for example on the current running mode, i.e. view mode, edit mode etc or similar. The conversion must take language preferences into account when determining language.

Declaration
protected virtual bool ConvertToExternalInternal(UrlBuilder url, object internalObject, Encoding toEncoding)
Parameters
Type Name Description
UrlBuilder url

The URL.

System.Object internalObject

The internal representation of the object, if any. Typically it may be a PageReference.

System.Text.Encoding toEncoding

To encoding.

Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

True if any changes done to the url, False otherwise.

Remarks

This is the only method that defines this mapping. It includes all globally valid rules for this transformation in the context of EPiServer, but not rules dependent on for example on the current running mode, i.e. view mode, edit mode etc or similar. The conversion must take language preferences into account when determining language.
