Question

I have a page whose relative path is “~/pages/mypage.aspx”.

I tried using VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(@”~/pages/mypage.aspx”) hoping to get the absolute uri but it only returns the same relative path.

How could I get the absolute uri from this relative uri?

Thanks,

I used this method:

private static string GetAbsoluteUrl(string relativeUrl)
    {
        var applicationUrl = String.Empty;

        // remove ~
        if (relativeUrl.StartsWith("~"))
        {
            applicationUrl = relativeUrl.Substring(1);
        }

        applicationUrl = (HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + applicationUrl)
            .Replace("//", "/");

        var baseUrl = String.Format("{0}://{1}:{2}",
                                    HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Scheme,
                                    HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host,
                                    HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Port);

        return baseUrl + applicationUrl;
    }
