Return Value
Type: System.BooleanA Boolean value that is true if the string was well-formed; else false.
By default, the string is considered well-formed in accordance with RFC 2396 and RFC 2732. If International Resource Identifiers (IRIs) or Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) parsing is enabled, the string is considered well-formed in accordance with RFC 3986 and RFC 3987.
The string is considered poorly formed, causing the method to return false, if any of the following conditions occur
Error | Example |
|---|---|
The string is not correctly escaped. | |
The string is an absolute Uri that represents an implicit file Uri. | c:\\directory\filename |
The string is an absolute URI that is missing a slash before the path. | file://c:/directory/filename |
The string contains unescaped backslashes even if they will be treated as forward slashes | http:\\host/path/file |
The string represents a hierarchical absolute Uri and does not contain "://" | www.contoso.com/path/file |
The parser for the Scheme indicates that the original string was not well-formed. | The example depends on the scheme of the URI. |
