I have a module that includes a web service. The web service needs to get the Url of a control in the same module. As the web service doesn't run as a control itself, it has no access to the EditUrl method usually available to module controls.

The url should look something like the following, and needs to work with the FriendlyUrl providers:
http://localhost/dnn5/Licensing/tabid/287/ctl/Verify/mid/707/Default.aspx
Can anyone suggest how I can extract the Url? My instinct was to try to create an instance of the control and pass it into the ModuleInstanceContext constructor like in the snippet below:

   ModuleController mc = new ModuleController();
   TabController tc = new TabController();
   _portalSettings = PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings();
   ModuleInfo mi = mc.GetModuleByDefinition(_portalSettings.PortalId, Definition.ModuleFriendlyName);
   IModuleControl ctrl = ???????????
   ModuleInstanceContext mic = new ModuleInstanceContext(ctrl);
   _verificationUrl = string.Format("http://{0}", mic.EditUrl());

However, I can't find a way to instantiate a module control. Can anyone help, or suggest another way to solve this problem?

Any help appreciated.

Found it. The following gets the Url I need:

url = Globals.NavigateURL(ti.TabID, "Key", string.Format("mid={0}", mi.ModuleID));
