Question

I got a very long string that cointains querystrings and and some regular site urls in it. it looks something like

http://www.mysite.com/site/site?pageId=1234&otherId=4321

I would like to get just the http://www.mysite.com from this string. Im thinking maybe a regular expression could do the trick, but Im def not quilfied to write any of that 🙂 so could i get some help?

EDIT
i need a solution so i can pass url string and get the base url from that. Not my current Url

thanks guys, appreciate it as always.

Answer 1

Please try this:

string uri = Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);

You can check with this also:

var url = new Uri("http://www.mysite.com/site/site?pageId=1234&otherId=4321");
string uri = url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
