I'm developing a module and one of the things it needs to do is send out emails containing links to files.  I have used DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.LinkClick to create the link like this:

body = "<a href=" + DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.LinkClick(fileID, this.TabId, this.ModuleId, false, true) + ">click here</a>";

However the link thats created is not a full URL address that can be clicked on from the email.  The link looks like:

/DNN/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=T0JmUAAlJgg%3d&forcedownload=true

But I would like it to be a full URL like:

http://www.mywebsite.com/DNN/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=T0JmUAAlJgg%3d&forcedownload=true

At the moment I have hardcoded the http://www.mywebsite.com part and prefixed it to the link.  How can I do this without hardcoding it?

Thanks

I ended up using the Uri.TryCreate function

UriBuilder baseUri = new UriBuilder();

Uri resultUri;

bool success = Uri.TryCreate(baseUri.Uri, DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.LinkClick(linkedFile.fileIDString, this.TabId, this.ModuleId, false, true), out resultUri);

if (success)

{

body += "<a href=" + resultUri.AbsoluteUri + ">" + filename + "</a>";

}
