        return Activator.CreateInstance(itemType);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        return itemType.GetConstructor(new Type[] { }).Invoke(new object[] { });

Answer 1

Since a Uri is immutable (much like string), it doesn’t make sense to create one without a value. When you know the Uri, use the regular constructor, for example new Uri(string) – or use TryCreate.

Btw – you could also test: if(itemType == typeof(Uri))
