title: Umbraco: Backend User Control
body: <p>I have successfully created and integrated successful user control in the Umbraco dashboard.  The page begins with a search control that returns a list of editable items.</p>
  
  <p>In my user control I am having issues with directing the link for the edit page.  I'm trying to link directly to it.  Here's that code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:hyperlinkfield
      datanavigateurlformatstring="/usercontrols/useradmin/item_edit.aspx?itemID={0}"
      datanavigateurlfields="itemID" Text="edit" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Umbraco is unable to handle the direct link and I'm not sure how to path to it.  Instead it returns this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>No umbraco document matches the url
    '<a href="http://localhost:1169/usercontrols/useradmin/item_edit.aspx?itemID=f66c8f06-9e0e-4f3c-ac0d-5544e0998094" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:1169/usercontrols/useradmin/item_edit.aspx?itemID=f66c8f06-9e0e-4f3c-ac0d-5544e0998094</a>' umbraco tried this to match it using
    this xpath query'/root/node/node
    [@urlName = "usercontrols"]/node
    [@urlName = "useradmin"]/node
    [@urlName = "item_edit"]')</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there a way to link from one user control to another within a custom dashboard control?</p>
