Property Value

Uri

A value of type Uri.

Examples

The following example shows the results of retrieving the BaseUri property from a FontFamily object.

// Create a new FontFamily object, using a font in the system fonts collection.
myTextBlock.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Comic Sans MS");

// The value of baseUri is null.
Uri baseUri = myTextBlock.FontFamily.BaseUri;

// Create a new FontFamily object, using an absolute URI reference.
myTextBlock.FontFamily = new FontFamily("file:///d:/MyFonts/#Pericles Light");

// The value of baseUri is null.
baseUri = myTextBlock.FontFamily.BaseUri;

// Create a new FontFamily object, using a base URI reference and a relative URI reference.
myTextBlock.FontFamily = new FontFamily(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/resources/"), "./#Pericles Light");

// The value of baseUri.AbsoluteUri is "pack://application:,,,/resources/".
baseUri = myTextBlock.FontFamily.BaseUri;
' Create a new FontFamily object, using a font in the system fonts collection.
myTextBlock.FontFamily = New FontFamily("Comic Sans MS")

' The value of baseUri is null.
Dim baseUri As Uri = myTextBlock.FontFamily.BaseUri

' Create a new FontFamily object, using an absolute URI reference.
myTextBlock.FontFamily = New FontFamily("file:///d:/MyFonts/#Pericles Light")

' The value of baseUri is null.
baseUri = myTextBlock.FontFamily.BaseUri

' Create a new FontFamily object, using a base URI reference and a relative URI reference.
myTextBlock.FontFamily = New FontFamily(New Uri("pack://application:,,,/resources/"), "./#Pericles Light")

' The value of baseUri.AbsoluteUri is "pack://application:,,,/resources/".
baseUri = myTextBlock.FontFamily.BaseUri

Remarks

The return value is null if the font family name does not rely on a base URI for resolving the font reference. To retrieve the font family name that is used to construct the FontFamily object, use the Source property.
