Convert String to URI

[Levu]

Never mind, found out about it..

Dim url as new uri("string")

^^

Or not..

One of the constructors (as New Uri(...)) or the shared TryCreate method.

 

[Levu]

can you write it in even more simpler terms?
An example would be great..
just tried:
Dim rofl As New Uri(url) <-- But got Error on that, where the url = www.google.com

"http://www.googoo.com" would be more appropriate, if you didn't have a different protocol in mind.

More of the point, the constructor will as you know throw exception if input isn't valid (your string), the TryCreate returns boolean value indicating success without throwing exception, so using the constructor is better when you know the input fits, TryCreate better when you need to validate unknown input.
