Uri::ToString Method ()
Gets a canonical string representation for the specified Uri instance.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
public: [SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag::Infrastructure)] virtual String^ ToString() override
Return Value
Type: System::String^A String instance that contains the unescaped canonical representation of the Uri instance. All characters are unescaped except #, ?, and %.
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 = gcnew 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 ); // The following outputs "HTTP://www.Contoso.com:80/thick%20and%20thin.htm". Console::WriteLine( uriAddress->OriginalString );
