Examples

The following example creates a Uri instance and writes the local path to the console.

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 value returned by this property is unescaped. If the path is recognized as a Windows file path, all forward slashes (/) are replaced by backward slashes (\).

For the URI file://computer/file.ext, the absolute path is /file.ext and the local path is \\computer\file.ext.
