Hi Davor

You need an instance of Pageview to be present to call GetFriendlyUrl(string) (Not when calling GetFriendlyUrl(int).

So before running your code, instantiate a pageview with a valid page ID, only once for the entire job:

_Pageview = New Dynamicweb.Frontend.PageView(1)

_Pageview.Load()

But I cannot understand why you need to find the URL during import, or at any other time...

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks for your answer.

I need this because during the import of products and categories in dynamicweb I am also generating xml feeds for other partners to use and inside the xml I need to provide the url for every product, category etc and they want it to be pretty url.

Your solution might work but constructor for PageView that accepts an int is marked as internal and I can not use it. Is there a workarround for this?

New pageview

pageview.ID = 1

pageview.load

Same thing!

We already tried that and it was throwing "Thread was being aborted"

var _Pageview = new Dynamicweb.Frontend.PageView();
 _Pageview.ID = 9;            
 _Pageview.Load();

var friendlyUrl =Dynamicweb.Frontend.SearchEngineFriendlyURLs.GetFriendlyUrl("Default.aspx?ID=9&ProductID=86245714020-at-SHOP1")
