Uri Constructor (Uri, String)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Initializes a new instance of the Uri class based on the specified base URI and relative URI string.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Parameters
- baseUri
- Type: System.Uri
The base URI.
- relativeUri
- Type: System.String
The relative URI to add to the base URI.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | baseUri is null. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | baseUri is not an absolute Uri instance. |
| UriFormatException | The URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri is empty or contains only spaces. -or- The scheme specified in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri is not valid. -or- The URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri contains too many slashes. -or- The password specified in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri is not valid. -or- The host name specified in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri is not valid. -or- The file name specified in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri is not valid. -or- The user name specified in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri is not valid. -or- The host or authority name specified in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri cannot be terminated by backslashes. -or- The port number specified in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri is not valid or cannot be parsed. -or- The length of the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri exceeds 65519 characters. -or- The length of the scheme specified in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri exceeds 1024 characters. -or- There is an invalid character sequence in the URI formed by combining baseUri and relativeUri. -or- The MS-DOS path specified in uriString must start with c:\\. |
This constructor creates a Uri instance by combining the baseUri and the relativeUri. If relativeUri is an absolute URI (containing a scheme, host name, and optionally a port number), the Uri instance is created using only relativeUri.
The string can be poorly formed and can still be used to construct a Uri instance. The Windows Phone runtime will try to correct some minor issues with a poorly-formed string when this constructor is called to create a Uri instance.
This constructor allows a Windows Phone application to create a Uri instance for many schemes as described in the Scheme property. However, only Uri instances for the UriSchemeHttp or UriSchemeHttps schemes are supported by the WebClient and HTTP classes in the System.Net namespace.
This constructor does not ensure that the Uri refers to an accessible resource.
