public:
property cli::array <System::String ^> ^ Segments { cli::array <System::String ^> ^ get(); };
public string[] Segments { get; }
member this.Segments : string[]
Public ReadOnly Property Segments As String()
Property Value
The path segments that make up the specified URI.
Exceptions
This instance represents a relative URI, and this property is valid only for absolute URIs.
Examples
The following example creates a Uri instance with 3 segments and displays the segments on the screen.
Uri^ uriAddress1 = gcnew Uri( "http://www.contoso.com/title/index.htm" );
Console::WriteLine( "The parts are {0}, {1}, {2}", uriAddress1->Segments[ 0 ], uriAddress1->Segments[ 1 ], uriAddress1->Segments[ 2 ] );
Uri uriAddress1 = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/title/index.htm");
Console.WriteLine("The parts are {0}, {1}, {2}", uriAddress1.Segments[0], uriAddress1.Segments[1], uriAddress1.Segments[2]);
let uriAddress1 = Uri "http://www.contoso.com/title/index.htm"
printfn $"The parts are {uriAddress1.Segments[0]}, {uriAddress1.Segments[1]}, {uriAddress1.Segments[2]}"
Dim uriAddress1 As New Uri("http://www.contoso.com/title/index.htm")
Console.WriteLine("The parts are {0}, {1}, {2}", uriAddress1.Segments(0), uriAddress1.Segments(1), uriAddress1.Segments(2))
Remarks
The Segments property returns an array of strings containing the "segments" (substrings) that form the URI's absolute path. The first segment is obtained by parsing the absolute path from its first character until you reach a slash (/) or the end of the path. Each additional segment begins at the first character after the preceding segment, and terminates with the next slash or the end of the path. (A URI's absolute path contains everything after the host and port and before the query and fragment.)
The following example shows the absolute path and segments for two URIs. The second example illustrates that the fragment and query are not part of the absolute path and therefore are not segments.
Absolute URI:
http://www.contoso.com/Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm
Absolute path: /Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm
Segments:
- /
- Chapters/
- Chapter1/
- Sections/
- Section1.htm
Absolute URI:
http://www.contoso.com/Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm#page1?answer=NO
Absolute path: /Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm
Segments:
- /
- Chapters/
- Chapter1/
- Sections/
- Section1.htm
Note that because the absolute path starts with a '/', the first segment contains it and nothing else.
