This constructor creates a Uri instance from a URI string. It parses the URI, puts it in canonical format, and makes any required escape encodings.

This constructor does not ensure that the Uri refers to an accessible resource.

This constructor assumes that the string parameter references an absolute URI and is equivalent to calling the Uri constructor with UriKind set to Absolute. If the string parameter passed to the constructor is a relative URI, this constructor will throw a UriFormatException.

The following example creates a Uri instance with the URI "http://www.contoso.com/".

Dim myUri As New Uri("http://www.contoso.com/")

Uri myUri = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/");

Uri^ baseUri = gcnew Uri( "http://www.contoso.com/" );

    var myUri : Uri = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/");
