Uri.IsFile Property

Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

Uri.cs

Gets a value that indicates whether the specified Uri is a file URI.

public:
 property bool IsFile { bool get(); };

public bool IsFile { get; }

member this.IsFile : bool

Public ReadOnly Property IsFile As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the Uri is a file URI; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

This instance represents a relative URI, and this property is valid only for absolute URIs.

Examples

The following example creates a Uri instance and determines whether it is a file URI.

Uri^ uriAddress2 = gcnew Uri( "file://server/filename.ext" );
Console::WriteLine( uriAddress2->LocalPath );
Console::WriteLine( "Uri {0} a UNC path", uriAddress2->IsUnc ? (String^)"is" : "is not" );
Console::WriteLine( "Uri {0} a local host", uriAddress2->IsLoopback ? (String^)"is" : "is not" );
Console::WriteLine( "Uri {0} a file", uriAddress2->IsFile ? (String^)"is" : "is not" );
// The example displays the following output:
//    \\server\filename.ext
//    Uri is a UNC path
//    Uri is not a local host
//    Uri is a file

Uri uriAddress2 =  new Uri("file://server/filename.ext");
Console.WriteLine(uriAddress2.LocalPath);
Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a UNC path", uriAddress2.IsUnc ? "is" : "is not");
Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a local host", uriAddress2.IsLoopback ? "is" : "is not");
Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a file", uriAddress2.IsFile ? "is" : "is not");
// The example displays the following output:
//    \\server\filename.ext
//    Uri is a UNC path
//    Uri is not a local host
//    Uri is a file

let uriAddress2 = Uri "file://server/filename.ext"
printfn $"{uriAddress2.LocalPath}"
printfn $"""Uri {if uriAddress2.IsUnc then "is" else "is not"} a UNC path"""
printfn $"""Uri {if uriAddress2.IsLoopback then "is" else "is not"} a local host"""
printfn $"""Uri {if uriAddress2.IsFile then "is" else "is not"} a file"""
// The example displays the following output:
//    \\server\filename.ext
//    Uri is a UNC path
//    Uri is not a local host
//    Uri is a file

Dim uriAddress2 As New Uri("file://server/filename.ext")
Console.WriteLine(uriAddress2.LocalPath)
Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a UNC path", IIf(uriAddress2.IsUnc, "is", "is not")) 'TODO: For performance reasons this should be changed to nested IF statements
Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a local host", IIf(uriAddress2.IsLoopback, "is", "is not")) 'TODO: For performance reasons this should be changed to nested IF statements
Console.WriteLine("Uri {0} a file", IIf(uriAddress2.IsFile, "is", "is not")) 'TODO: For performance reasons this should be changed to nested IF statements
' The example displays the following output:
'    \\server\filename.ext
'    Uri is a UNC path
'    Uri is not a local host
'    Uri is a file

Remarks

The IsFile property is true when the Scheme property equals UriSchemeFile.
