Is there a way to detect a complete URL?

[ThunderMusic]

Hi,
We have a web form where the user should enter a complete URL including the
protocol, so "www.myURL.com" is not considered valid, it should be
"http://www.myURL.com" or "mms://www.myURL.com" or something like that...

Is there a way I can detect if an URL is complete?
"mailto:[email protected]" should be supported... so I can't look if it
contains "://" Is there a regex I can use? Is there a class for this
fonctionality included in the .NET framework?

Thanks

Hi,

yes, there is a class for this: System.Uri

Simply use

System.Uri uriTemp = new System.Uri(URL_TO_BE_VALIDATED);

In webpage or web control, you can use property Request.Url to get
current request url
