How to get Absolute URL of List using SharePoint object model?

In this post we will discuss how to get absoulte URL of a list using SharePoint object model.

You can also check my previous posts on Get 14 hive file path by using SharePoint 2010 object model [Solution here], Add safe controls programmatically in SharePoint 2010 [Solution here] and Add items to SharePoint list using PowerShell [Solution here].

We can use the SPUtility class to retrieve the absolute or full URL of the SharePoint list.
using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://bsahoo3:2500/sites/TestSiteCollection/"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.OpenWeb())
                {
SPList list = Web.Lists["Employees"];

string listUrl = SPUtility.GetFullUrl(site, list.DefaultDisplayFormUrl);
 }
}
This will return the DisplayForm Url like below

http://bsahoo3:2500/sites/Lists/Employees/DispFormASPX
