ASP.Net has a boat load of methods for dealing with paths. However, no where can I find a method to convert a virtual path (~/) to its equivalent Uri. Perhaps it’s there but darn if I can find it. The best I can up with is:

var uri = Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + ResolveUrl("~/SomePage.aspx")

If the site is hosted at: http://example.com/website, then this code yields http://example.com/website/SomePage.aspx, which is what I want.

Perhaps there is a better way to do this?

I think this is one of the better ways to accomplish Virtual Path String to URI conversion. Thanks so much for your post.

Stephen,

Thanks for the feedback. No one as suggested an existing API so maybe one does not exist.

Hi,

Maybe this could help :

public static String ToBaseAbsolute(this Uri uri)
{
return String.Format("{0}://{1}", uri.Scheme, uri.Authority);
}
