Try this

string baseUrl = String.Format("{0}://{1}{2}/", Request.Url.Scheme,
Request.Url.Authority,
Request.ApplicationPath.TrimEnd('/'));

Sometimes i put it in a common class, in that case you should use this syntax

 public static string GetBaseUrl()
        {
            HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
            string baseUrl = String.Format("{0}://{1}{2}/", 
            context.Request.Url.Scheme,
            context.Request.Url.Authority,
            context.Request.ApplicationPath.TrimEnd('/'));
            return baseUrl;
        }
