Short Answer

myUri.GetLeftPart(System.UriPartial.Authority)

Long Answer
Assuming "Base URI" means something like http://www.example.com, you can get the base uri like this:

var myUri= new Uri("http://www.example.com/mypage/default.aspx");    
var baseUri = myUri.GetLeftPart(System.UriPartial.Authority)

This gives: http://www.example.com

Note: uri.Host gives: www.example.com (not including port or scheme)
