Getting a partial URL From Request.Url
Even after almost 4 years working with ASP.NET, I can still never remember what property I need from Request.Url. So, as much to aid my own brain as yours, here's a handy-dandy table:
| AbsolutePath | /foo/bar/ |
|---|---|
| AbsoluteUri | http://www.foobar.com:8080/foo/bar/?foo=bar#foo |
| Authority | www.foobar.com:8080 |
| Fragment | #foo |
| Host | www.foobar.com |
| LocalPath | /foo/bar/ |
| OriginalString | http://www.foobar.com:8080/foo/bar/?foo=bar#foo |
| PathAndQuery | /foo/bar/?foo=bar |
| Port | 8080 |
| Query | ?foo=bar |
| Scheme | http |
If you need the whole URL, except just some bit at the end, you can use GetLeftPart, with a value from the UriPartial enum. The value you pass, will be the last part of the URL included. For example, to remove the fragment from the URL above:
Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Query)
For what it's worth, Request.Url is just an Uri instance. If you'd like to learn more about this system class, please see the relevant MSDN documentation.
