url - How can I get the root domain URI in ASP.NET?

Question

Let's say I'm hosting a website at http://www.foobar.com.

Is there a way I can programmatically ascertain "http://www.foobar.com/" in my code behind (i.e. without having to hardcode it in my web config)?

Answer 1

string baseUrl = Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);

Uri::GetLeftPart Method:

The GetLeftPart method returns a string containing the leftmost portion of the URI string, ending with the portion specified by part.

UriPartial Enumeration:

The scheme and authority segments of the URI.
