property to hold internal or external url

Vote:
 

Hi, 

I am using episerver cms 6 R2 edition. I'm looking for a property to hold internal (links to pages in CMS) and external url (external websites...). 

I tried  "propertyUrl" like the following. 

 

[PageTypeProperty(Type = typeof(PropertyUrl),
EditCaption = "Länk för höger topp bild",
SortOrder = 325,
Required = false)]
public virtual string PuffRightTopLink { get; set; }

    

When I'm access the property like this, getting error - Unable to cast object of type 'EPiServer.Core.PageReference' to type 'System.String'.

 

 
<a href="<%= CurrentPage.PuffRightTopLink %>" > </a>

Any help is appreciated. thanks.

If you look at the the property in admin mode, is it set to a property url? Looks like it is set to a PageReference.

PageTypeBuilder will not update the type of a property if you change it in code, that has to be done in the admin area.
