How do I get the full url of the page I am on in C#
C#asp.netUser ControlsC# Problem Overview
I need to be able to get at the full URL of the page I am on from a user control. Is it just a matter of concatenating a bunch of Request variables together? If so which ones? Or is there a more simpiler way?
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
Here is a list I normally refer to for this type of information:
Request.ApplicationPath : /virtual_dir
Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath : /virtual_dir/webapp/page.aspx
Request.FilePath : /virtual_dir/webapp/page.aspx
Request.Path : /virtual_dir/webapp/page.aspx
Request.PhysicalApplicationPath : d:\Inetpub\wwwroot\virtual_dir\
Request.QueryString : /virtual_dir/webapp/page.aspx?q=qvalue
Request.Url.AbsolutePath : /virtual_dir/webapp/page.aspx
Request.Url.AbsoluteUri : http://localhost:2000/virtual_dir/webapp/page.aspx?q=qvalue
Request.Url.Host : localhost
Request.Url.Authority : localhost:80
Request.Url.LocalPath : /virtual_dir/webapp/page.aspx
Request.Url.PathAndQuery : /virtual_dir/webapp/page.aspx?q=qvalue
Request.Url.Port : 80
Request.Url.Query : ?q=qvalue
Request.Url.Scheme : http
Request.Url.Segments : /
virtual_dir/
webapp/
page.aspx
Hopefully you will find this useful!
Solution 2 - C#
I usually use Request.Url.ToString()
to get the full url (including querystring), no concatenation required.
Solution 3 - C#
Request.Url.AbsoluteUri
This property does everything you need, all in one succinct call.
Solution 4 - C#
For ASP.NET Core
you'll need to spell it out:
var request = Context.Request;
@($"{ request.Scheme }://{ request.Host }{ request.Path }{ request.QueryString }")
Or you can add a using statement to your view:
@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Extensions
then
@Context.Request.GetDisplayUrl()
The _ViewImports.cshtml
might be a better place for that @using
Solution 5 - C#
if you need the full URL as everything from the http to the querystring you will need to concatenate the following variables
Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS") // to check if it's HTTP or HTTPS
Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
Solution 6 - C#
Request.RawUrl
Solution 7 - C#
Better to use Request.Url.OriginalString
than Request.Url.ToString()
(according to MSDN)
Solution 8 - C#
Thanks guys, I used a combination of both your answers @Christian and @Jonathan for my specific need.
"http://" + Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"] + Request.RawUrl.ToString()
I don't need to worry about secure http, needed the servername variable and the RawUrl handles the path from the domain name and includes the querystring if present.
Solution 9 - C#
If you need the port number also, you can use
Request.Url.Authority
Example:
string url = Request.Url.Authority + HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl.ToString();
if (Request.ServerVariables["HTTPS"] == "on")
{
url = "https://" + url;
}
else
{
url = "http://" + url;
}
Solution 10 - C#
Try the following -
var FullUrl = Request.Url.AbsolutePath.ToString();
var ID = FullUrl.Split('/').Last();
