Ok, after a frustrating while of trying to figure out an easy way to get the FULL (Absolute) URL for a ListItem’s parent web using the SharePoint Client Object Model I discovered one thing for sure: There are an abundance of ways to easily find the ServerRelativeUrl for many objects in the Client OM, but that is not what I needed.
After talking to a co-worker, we finally found an easy way to get the parent web’s absolute URL when dealing with at Client OM ListItem. The key is looking at the Context.
Assuming that you have a variable called “item” that represents an SP Client OM ListItem, you can get the full URL for the parent web like this:
string parentWebAbsUrl = item.ParentList.ParentWeb.Context.Url;
Sometimes it’s the simple things that get you. Hope that helps you save some time! Thanks for reading.
