C# I want the url, not the physical pathname

Question

For this line of code;

string link = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/Contract/Details/" + this.ContractId.ToString());

I get the physical pathname on C drive.

What I want is the url, ie

http://localhost:1234/Contract/Details/1

How do I get this?

Answer 1

try this:

string url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;

Answer 2

There's a great article on .Net paths @ http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/132081.aspx

Take a look at the Url or PathInfo property.

Answer 3

// Use the Uri constructor to form a URL relative to the current page
Uri linkUri = new Uri(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url, "/Contract/Details/" + this.ContractId.ToString());
string link = linkUri.ToString();

Answer 4

Uri base = new Uri("http://localhost:1234/";);

Uri file = new Uri(host, "/Contract/Details/" + this.ContractId.ToString());

string URL = file.AbsoluteUri;
