how to manipulate the URL path in c# asp.net?

Question

I have the following path:

-http://localhost/portal/reportview.aspx

but I need to retrieve the first 3 parts:

-http://localhost/portal/

Ive tried HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(); with no luck.

If you place a debug break on the Request.Url you can see all the items that can give you , like the .Path and can do the job. Is faster than make a question. — Aristos

Always the first three parts or remove the "reportview.aspx"? Or to put it in a different way, what if the url is http://localhost/portal/sub/page.aspx? — Hans Keﬆing

Try this;

string s = "http://localhost/portal/reportview.aspx";
string y = string.Format("{0}//{2}/{3}/",s.Split('/'));

Split finds an empty string between the //, so either shift the indexes or use StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries in the Split.

You can use substring.

string str = "http://localhost/portal/reportview.aspx";

string left = str.Substring(0, str.LastIndexOf("/"));
