Question

How can I get the application relative url from Request.Url.AbsolutePath?

VirtualPathUtility seems to only work with ~/XXX urls?

Answer 1

I solved it like this:

// create an absolute path for the application root
var appUrl = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/");

// remove the app path (exclude the last slash)
var relativeUrl = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath.Remove(0, appUrl.Length - 1);
