Returns true if the specified object "has" the specified ObjectPermissions. If the object has no assigned permisions, the return value is true.

Returns true if the current user has not been explicitly denied the policy. NOTE: This method is deprecated. Use HasPolicy(String, Boolean) instead for improved security.

Load the AppContext object from the database.

Finds the specified component in the application's Components collection, loads it, verfies that it implements the requested interface (if specified), and returns the object. Normally an appropriate AssemblyLoadFail exception will be thrown if the component could not be found, loaded or requested interface obtained for any reason. However, if OkIfNotFound is set a failure will suppress any such error and result in null being returned.

Embedded functions are automatically resolved for both DefaultValues on Field objects and Filters on Mapper objects.

Normally, you register an extension to run at startup and register custom functions in the ExtensionEvents.ApplicationAfterLoad event.

Resolve an expression string for embedded functions. See EmbeddedParser for more information on embedded functions.

URL's are generally stored in this manner for one of two purposes: 1) For permanent use as a saved reference of some type, and 2) As a temporary URL whose reference is passed as a query parameter (for security and to reduce query parameter size). Use UrlSave(String, UrlLinkType, NullableDateTime) to save URL's.
