.net core 2.1 get identity page url from controller

Question

i need to use forgot password functionality in mvc controller. With .net core 2.1 Identity part is separated in Area/Identity/Account .

I need to use this part which generates URL for password reset.

var callbackUrl = Url.Page(
                "/Account/ResetPassword",
                pageHandler: null,
                values: new { code },
                protocol: Request.Scheme);

But I am not able to generate the url by the same way in my custom controller.

Any ideas how to generate URL for Page in action of common conroller?

Answer 1

var code = await _userManager.GeneratePasswordResetTokenAsync(applicationUser);
var callbackUrl = $"{Request.Scheme}://{Request.Host}/Identity/Account/ResetPassword?code={code}";

Answer 2

var callbackUrl = Url.Page(
            "/Account/ResetPassword",
            pageHandler: null,
            values: new { area = "Identity", code },
            protocol: Request.Scheme);

You will need to specify area as a value in using Url.Page to generate a correct link from with a mvc Controller. That will do the trick.
