Question

I am curious about the Uri property:

public bool IsAbsoluteUri { get; }

Is it ever possible for it to be false? It doesn’t seem that I can create a Uri that is not absolute. The latter (uriTwo) throws:

var uriOne = new Uri( "http://stackoverflow.com/about" );
var uriTwo = new Uri( "/about" );

Same seems to be true with the builder. What am I missing?

Yes. Try the following

var uri = new Uri("foo.jpg", UriKind.Relative);
Console.WriteLine(uri.IsAbsoluteUri); // prints false
