'HttpRequest' does not contain a definition for 'Url'

Hi all, I am trying to send a activation link using Guid.NewGuid() and when I want to generate a link using "Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Replace" it shows a error where it says:

'HttpRequest' does not contain a definition for 'Url' and no accessible extension method 'Url' accepting a first argument of type 'HttpRequest' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?).

Is there any workaround to this? The framework i am using is c# .net framework 3.1. Thanks in advance for the help!

Related question about how to process verification after sending activation link.

You can generate the base url of the site using the following:

string baseUrl = string.Format("{0}://{1}", 
                       HttpContext.Request.Scheme, HttpContext.Request.Host);

where HttpContext.Request.Scheme returns http/https
and HttpContext.Request.Host is the host i.e.(localhost or www.example.com).
So basically you will get https://www.example.com

Then, you can combine the Guid as a query string and send it to the user.

var activationUrl = $"{baseUrl}/Controller/Action?code={Guid.NewGuid()}";

Note: I've used variation to combine strings just for the answer. Later is available starting with C# 6.
