URI Possible Bug?

[mark_overstreet]

The following code appears to be a bug. Can anyone confirm?


Uri newURI = new
Uri("file:///C:/Projects/Labor/Helpdesk/Source/C#/Labor.Helpdesk.Website.Solution/Labor.Helpdesk.Website/bin/Labor.Helpdesk.DataLayer.DLL");

Console.Writeline(newURI.LocalPath);

Output:

C:\Projects\Labor\Helpdesk\Source\C

This does not return the entire path as expected or am I missing
something?

Thanks
Mark

pound symbols (#) have special meaning in URIs. They are used to delmit a
fragment identifier in a URI reference. See RFC 2396 at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2396
for details. Escaping the # character works fine:

Uri newURI = new
Uri("file:///C:/Projects/Labor/Helpdesk/Source/C%23/Labor.Helpdesk.Website.Solution/Labor.Helpdesk.Website/bin/Labor.Helpdesk.DataLayer.DLL");

Console.Writeline(newURI.LocalPath);

Thanks. One more thing. The path I am getting is not hardcoded but
from a built in class as follows and is not escaped. How can I escape
it?

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

Uri.EscapeUriString, but better would be to use UriBuilder
