How to get the URL of the current page in C#

Can anyone help out me in getting the URL of the current working page of ASP.NET in C#?

Try this :

string url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
// http://localhost:1302/TESTERS/Default6.aspx

string path = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
// /TESTERS/Default6.aspx

string host = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;
// localhost

You may at times need to get different values from URL.

Below example shows different ways of extracting different parts of URL

EXAMPLE: (Sample URL)

http://localhost:60527/WebSite1test/Default2.aspx?QueryString1=1&QueryString2=2

CODE

Response.Write("<br/>Host " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host);
Response.Write("<br/>Authority: " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority);
Response.Write("<br/>Port: " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Port);
Response.Write("<br/>AbsolutePath: " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath);
Response.Write("<br/>ApplicationPath: " + HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);
Response.Write("<br/>AbsoluteUri: " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri);
Response.Write("<br/>PathAndQuery: " + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery);

OUTPUT

Host: localhost
Authority: localhost:60527
Port: 60527
AbsolutePath: /WebSite1test/Default2.aspx
ApplicationPath: /WebSite1test
AbsoluteUri: http://localhost:60527/WebSite1test/Default2.aspx?QueryString1=1&QueryString1=2
PathAndQuery: /WebSite1test/Default2.aspx?QueryString1=1&QueryString2=2

You can copy paste above sample code & run it in asp.net web form application with different URL.

I also recommend reading ASP.Net Routing in case you may use ASP Routing then you don't need to use traditional URL with query string.

Just sharing as this was my solution thanks to Canavar's post.

If you have something like this:

"http://localhost:1234/Default.aspx?un=asdf&somethingelse=fdsa"

or like this:

"https://www.something.com/index.html?a=123&b=4567"

and you only want the part that a user would type in then this will work:

String strPathAndQuery = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;
String strUrl = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Replace(strPathAndQuery, "/");

which would result in these:

"http://localhost:1234/"
"https://www.something.com/"

if you just want the part between http:// and the first slash

string url = Request.Url.Host;

would return stackoverflow.com if called from this page

Here's the complete breakdown

the request.rawurl will gives the content of current page it gives the exact path that you required

use HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl

If you want to get

localhost:2806 

from

http://localhost:2806/Pages/ 

then use:

HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority

a tip for people who needs the path/url in global.asax file;

If you need to run this in global.asax > Application_Start and you app pool mode is integrated then you will receive the error below:

> Request is not available in this context exception in > Application_Start.

In that case you need to use this:

> System.Web.HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppVirtualPath

Hope will help others..

A search landed me at this page, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. Posting here in case someone else looking for what I was lands at this page too.

There is two ways to do it if you only have a string value.

.NET way:

Same as @Canavar, but you can instantiate a new Uri Object

String URL = "http://localhost:1302/TESTERS/Default6.aspx";
System.Uri uri = new System.Uri(URL);

which means you can use the same methods, e.g.

string url = uri.AbsoluteUri;
// http://localhost:1302/TESTERS/Default6.aspx

string host = uri.host
// localhost

Regex way:

I guess its enough to return absolute path..

 Path.GetFileName( Request.Url.AbsolutePath )

using System.IO;
