Syntax

public override string ToString()

Returns

Uri.ToString method returns A String instance that contains the unescaped canonical representation of the Uri instance. All characters are unescaped except #, ?, and %.

Example

The following example creates a new Uri instance from a string. It illustrates the difference between the value returned from OriginalString, which returns the string that was passed to the constructor, and from a call to ToString, which returns the canonical form of the string.

//from   w w w . ja  v a  2 s .  c o  m
using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    // Create a new Uri from a string address.
    Uri uriAddress = new Uri("HTTP://www.java2s.com:80/thick%20and%20thin.htm");
    
    Console.WriteLine(uriAddress.ToString()); 
    
    Console.WriteLine(uriAddress.OriginalString);

  }
}
    

The code above generates the following result.
