Parameters

uri
Type: System..::.Uri
The URI to compare to the current URI.

Return Value

Type: System..::.Uri

If the hostname or scheme is different, then this method returns a Uri that represents the toUri parameter.
Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
InvalidOperationException

This instance represents a relative URI, and this property is valid only for absolute URIs.

Examples

The following example creates 2 Uri instances. The difference in the path information is written to the console.

Visual Basic
    ' Create a base Uri.
    Dim address1 As New Uri("http://www.contoso.com/")

    ' Create a new Uri from a string.
    Dim address2 As New Uri("http://www.contoso.com/index.htm?date=today")

    ' Determine the relative Uri.  
    Console.WriteLine("The difference is {0}", address1.MakeRelativeUri(address2))

End Sub 'SampleMakeRelative
C#
// Create a base Uri.
Uri address1 = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/");

// Create a new Uri from a string.
Uri address2 = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/index.htm?date=today"); 

// Determine the relative Uri.  
Console.WriteLine("The difference is {0}", address1.MakeRelativeUri(address2));
Visual C++
// Create a base Uri.
Uri^ address1 = gcnew Uri( "http://www.contoso.com/" );

// Create a new Uri from a string.
Uri^ address2 = gcnew Uri( "http://www.contoso.com/index.htm?date=today" );

// Determine the relative Uri.  
Console::WriteLine( "The difference is {0}", address1->MakeRelativeUri( address2 ) );
CPP_OLD
// Create a base Uri.
Uri* address1 = new Uri(S"http://www.contoso.com/");

// Create a new Uri from a string.
Uri* address2 = new Uri(S"http://www.contoso.com/index.htm?date=today"); 

// Determine the relative Uri.  
Console::WriteLine(S"The difference is {0}", address1->MakeRelative(address2));
