WebRequest.RequestUri Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When overridden in a descendant class, gets the URI of the Internet resource associated with the request.

Namespace:  System.Net
Assembly:  System.Net (in System.Net.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property RequestUri As Uri
public abstract Uri RequestUri { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Uri
A Uri representing the resource associated with the request.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
NotImplementedException

Any attempt is made to get or set the property, when the property is not overridden in a descendant class.

Remarks

When overridden in a descendant class, the RequestUri property contains the Uri instance that Create method uses to create the request.

NoteNote:

The WebRequest class is an abstract class. The actual behavior of a WebRequest instance at run time is determined by the descendant class returned by the WebRequest.Create method. For more information about default values and exceptions, see the documentation for the descendant classes, such as HttpWebRequest.

Notes to Inheritors

RequestUri must contain the original Uri instance passed to the Create method. If the protocol is able to redirect the request to a different URI to service the request, the descendant must provide a property to contain the URI that actually services the request
