RequestUri Property
.NET Framework Class Library
WebRequest..::.RequestUri Property

When overridden in a descendant class, gets the URI of the Internet resource associated with the request.

Namespace:  System.Net
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property RequestUri As Uri
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As WebRequest
Dim value As Uri

value = instance.RequestUri
C#
public virtual Uri RequestUri { get; }
Visual C++
public:
virtual property Uri^ RequestUri {
    Uri^ get ();
}
JScript
public function get RequestUri () : Uri

Property Value

Type: System..::.Uri
A Uri representing the resource associated with the request
ExceptionCondition
NotImplementedException

Any attempt is made to get or set the property, when the property is not overridden in a descendant class.

When overridden in a descendant class, the RequestUri property contains the Uri instance that Create method uses to create the request.

NoteNote:

The WebRequest class is an abstract class. The actual behavior of WebRequest instances at run time is determined by the descendant class returned by the WebRequest..::.Create method. For more information about default values and exceptions, see the documentation for the descendant classes, such as HttpWebRequest and FileWebRequest.

Notes to Inheritors:

RequestUri must contain the original Uri instance passed to the Create method. If the protocol is able to redirect the request to a different URI to service the request, the descendant must provide a property to contain the URI that actually services the request

The following example checks the RequestUri property to determine the site originally requested.
