You can specify the name of a persistent object’s property whose value represents an URL. For details, see ActionUrl.UrlFieldName.

C#

public class DomainObject1 : BaseObject {
   //...
   private string webSite;
   public string WebSite {
      get { return webSite; }
      set { SetPropertyValue(ref webSite, value); }
   }
}
public partial class ViewController1 : ViewController{
   private void InitializeComponent(){
      //...
      this.urlAction1 = new DevExpress.ExpressApp.Actions.ActionUrl(this.components);
      this.urlAction1.UrlFieldName = "WebSite";
      this.urlAction1.UrlFormatString = "http://{0}";
      //...
   }
}

VB.NET

Public Class DomainObject1
      Inherits BaseObject
   '...
   Private fwebSite As String
    Public Property WebSite As String
        Get
            Return webSite
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            SetPropertyValue(fwebSite, value)
        End Set
    End Property
End Class
Public Partial Class ViewController1
      Inherits ViewController
   Private Sub InitializeComponent()
      '...
      Me.urlAction1 = New DevExpress.ExpressApp.Actions.ActionUrl(Me.components)
      Me.urlAction1.UrlFieldName = "WebSite"
      Me.urlAction1.UrlFormatString = "http://{0}"
      '...
   End Sub
End Class

In this instance, the ActionURL should be activated in a List View for each object or in a Detail View. To do that, set the ActionBase.SelectionDependencyType property to the SelectionDependencyType.RequireSingleObject value and the ActionBase.Category property to “RecordEdit”. In a List View, the Action will be displayed in an additional cell for each object.
