Namespace:   System
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

Public ReadOnly Property IsUnc As Boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean

A Boolean value that is true if the Uri is a UNC path; otherwise, false.

Exception Condition
InvalidOperationException

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

The IsUnc property is true if the specified Uri instance is a UNC path (such as \\server\folder or file://server/folder). This property always returns true if the URI has the file:// scheme and specifies a host component.

The following example creates a Uri instance and determines whether it is a UNC path.

    Dim uriAddress2 As New Uri("file://server/filename.ext")
    Console.WriteLine(uriAddress2.LocalPath)
    Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a UNC path", IIf(uriAddress2.IsUnc, "is", "is not")) 'TODO: For performance reasons this should be changed to nested IF statements
    Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a local host", IIf(uriAddress2.IsLoopback, "is", "is not")) 'TODO: For performance reasons this should be changed to nested IF statements
    Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a file", IIf(uriAddress2.IsFile, "is", "is not")) 'TODO: For performance reasons this should be changed to nested IF statements
