Uri.ToString Method

The string returned by this method does not contain port information when the port is the default port for the scheme.

Note
The string returned by the ToString method may contain control characters, which can corrupt the state of a console application. You can use the GetComponents method with the UriFormat.SafeUnescaped format to remove control characters from the returned string.

The following example creates a new Uri instance from a string. It illustrates the difference between the value returned from OriginalString, which returns the string that was passed to the constructor, and from a call to ToString, which returns the canonical form of the string.

// Create a new Uri from a string address.
Uri uriAddress = new Uri("HTTP://www.Contoso.com:80/thick%20and%20thin.htm");

// Write the new Uri to the console and note the difference in the two values. 
// ToString() gives the canonical version.  OriginalString gives the orginal  
// string that was passed to the constructor. 

// The following outputs "http://www.contoso.com/thick and thin.htm".
Console.WriteLine(uriAddress.ToString()); 

// The following outputs "HTTP://www.Contoso.com:80/thick%20and%20thin.htm".
Console.WriteLine(uriAddress.OriginalString);
