Parameters

uriString

A string containing a URI.

dontEscape

true if the URI in uriString is already escaped; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	uriString is null .
UriFormatException	uriString is a zero length string or contains only spaces. -or- The parsing routine detected a scheme in an invalid form. -or- The parser detected more than two consecutive slashes in a URI that does not use the "file" scheme. -or- uriString is in an invalid form and cannot be parsed.

Remarks

This constructor parses the URI, places its components into the appropriate properties, and puts the URI in canonical form. If the specified URI does not contain a scheme component, the URI is parsed using "file" as the scheme.

Example

The following example creates a Uri instance for the URI "http://www.contoso.com/Hello%20World.htm". Because the URI contains escaped characters, the third parameter, dontEscape , is set to true .

C# Example

using System;

public class UriTest {
 public static void Main() {
 
 Uri myUri = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/Hello%20World.htm", true);

 Console.WriteLine(myUri.ToString());
 }
}

The output is

http://www.contoso.com/Hello World.htm
