I want to extract the name of a particular directory of a URL and save it to a string from the server-side in ASP.NET C#.

For example, lets say I have a URL that looks like this:

http://localhost:1096/directory1/directory2/default.aspx

How would I get the value of directory1 from the URL and save it to a string variable?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if there is a built in way; however, you could just always parse the string.

Solution 2

C#

string requestString = Request.Url.GetComponents(UriComponents.Path, UriFormat.Unescaped);
string[] directories = requestString.Split(new char[] { '/' });

string firstSubDirectory = directories[1];
string secondSubDirectory = directories[2];
//etc...
