NavigateURL behavior

Hi!
Can anyone explain why NavigateUrl behaves differently when used in ascx files and in codebehind. I'm using: DotNetNuke.Common.NavigateURL(70, "Show", "Mid=392", "MyParameter=" + somevalue) in two modules. In the first module it's used in a datagrids itemtemplate hyperlink control and it databinds "somevalue". The grid contains groups od products and when a group is clicked it opens a new tab with a module that displays the products. So, when I click a link i get the correct URL (http://localhost/italcro/Artikli/tabid/70/ctl/Show/Mid/392/MyParameter/101/Default.aspx) and everything is OK. Then I wrote a second module - search. It has 1 label, 1 textbox and 1 imagebutton. In codebehind for ImageButton_Click i put: Response.Redirect(NavigateURL(70, "Show", "Mid=392", "MyParameter=" + TextBox1.Text)). When I click it the page just posts back. Through the debugger I found out that the NavigateUrl formatted the URL differently (http://localhost/italcro/Artikli/tabid/70/ctl/Show/Mid/392/Default.aspx?MyParameter=Test).
Why???
Of course, this way it doesn't work.

Can anyone help.

Re: NavigateURL behavior

They should both produce the same results. It seems as tho there's an issue with the friendly URLs. I've never seen this before. When accessing the parameter, tho, everything should work the same. I've used both and don't notice any differences. I will admit that this might be a bug. My guess is that the problem is when you're calling NavigateURL(), not the function itself. Calling it in code-behind may be too soon or too late to evaluate the URL as expected. Try moving that code to the page's Init event.

Re: NavigateURL behavior

Well, the bug is probably already solved since I'm using DNN 3.1.1. I can't move the code to the Init event because it's a search module and the Reponse.Redirect(NavigateURL... is called in the imagebutton_click event. I solved the issue for now by bulding the URL myself (The TabID and ControlID are entered as module settings).
Thanks anyway.
