Redirect to a URL set by a URL property field.

I have a custom block, with a URL field. (EpiServer.Url)

In the editor, I go to the properties and set the page from other pages in the site. In this case, "Contact Us". (site path, "/en/contact-us")

But when the controller gets the path, it looks like this: "/link/03b82dc1edc34762bfa4575c24180166.aspx?id=373&epslanguage=en", not "/en/contact-us".

What do I do to get the real path.

This should work

var urlHelper = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<UrlResolver>();
var friendlyUrlBuilder = new UrlBuilder(<!----Your url string here -->);
ContentReference contentReference = PermanentLinkUtility.GetContentReference(friendlyUrlBuilder);
 string url = urlHelper.GetUrl(contentReference);
 
return url;

var urlResolver = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<UrlResolver>();
var pageUrl = urlResolver.GetUrl(contentReference, cultureName);

In a cshtml view
try
<a href="@Url.ContentUrl(EPiServer.Url)">
or
@Html.UrlLink(EPiServer.LinkUrl)

You can get real path using UrlHelper

var urlHelper = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<UrlHelper>();
var url = urlHelper.ContentUrl(currentBlock.Link);
