  • Request.QueryString["Key"] is now Request.Query:

if (Request.Query.ContainsKey("ReturnUrl"))
{
  StringValues values;
  if (Request.Query.TryGetValue("ReturnUrl", out values))
  {
    string firstValue = values[0].ToLower();

    if (firstValue.Contains("/filemanager/select") || firstValue.Contains("/help"))
    {
      return View("BlankLogin");
    }
  }
var urlHelperFactory = _httpContext.RequestServices.GetService<IUrlHelperFactory>();
var actionAccessor = _httpContext.RequestServices.GetService<IActionContextAccessor>();
IUrlHelper urlHelper = urlHelperFactory.GetUrlHelper(actionAccessor.ActionContext);
