string url = content.Url(true);

Example 2. Get the menu title for a Content item. This example shows how a top navigation could be built.

<ul id="topnavigation"">
   <asp:Repeater id="navigation" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
      <li><a href=""><%# ((Model.Content)Container.DataItem).MenuTitle  %></a></li>
    </ItemTemplate>
   </asp:Repeater>
</ul>

Example 3. Get the top most content relative to the current content. As an example, you could use this to render a sub navigation.

//Use the topcontent to render a sub navigation.
BuildNavigation(topcontent);

BinaryContent file = ContentService.Get<BinaryContent>(123);
string thumburl = file.ThumbUrl(100, 0);
