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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function TryCreate ( _
    baseUri As Uri, _
    relativeUri As String, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef result As Uri _
) As Boolean

public static bool TryCreate(
    Uri baseUri,
    string relativeUri,
    out Uri result
)

Parameters

  • result
    Type: System.Uri%
    When this method returns, contains a Uri constructed from baseUri and relativeUri. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that is true if the Uri was successfully created; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If this method returns true, the new Uri is in result.

Silverlight-based applications are cross-platform, so they run in most modern Web browsers, including Apple Safari version 2.0 and later on Apple Mac OS X. However, TryCreate(Uri, String, Uri%) does not convert backslashes in the relativeUri parameter to forward slashes in the Uri on Apple Mac OS X.
