Dim HPS As Entities.Portals.PortalSettings
HPS = GetHostPortalSettings()
strHostURL = HPS.HostSettings.Item("HostDomain")

However when I use this in V5.5, I get the warning
"Deprecated in DNN 5.0. Replaced by Host.GetHostSettingsDictionary"

So I try to use Host.GetHostSettingsDictionary using code like this:

strHostURL = DotNetNuke.Entities.Host.Host.GetHostSettingsDictionary("HostDomain")

This time I get the warning
"Replaced in DotNetNuke 5.5 by HostController.GetHostSettingsDictionary()"

So I tried this:

Dim HostCtr As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Controllers.HostController

But get an error:

'DotNetNuke.Entities.Controllers.HostController.Friend Sub New()' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Friend'

I have checked the SuperUser Manual and search DNN (via www.SearchDotNetNuke.com) and can't find any help. Is there a programmers reference guide to DNN V5.5?

Can anyone hlp by showing me an example piece of code for V5.5 just to extract a Host Setting called "HostDomain"?

hostcontroller.instance.getsettingsdictionary()
