C#, Is there a better way to verify URL formatting than IsWellFormedUriString?

Question

Is there a better/more accurate/stricter method/way to find out if a URL is properly formatted?

Using:

bool IsGoodUrl = Uri.IsWellForm         


        

Answer 1

@Greg's solution is correct. However you can steel using URI and validate all protocols (scheme) that you want as valid.

public static bool Url(string p_strValue)
{
    if (Uri.IsWellFormedUriString(p_strValue, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))
    {
        Uri l_strUri = new Uri(p_strValue);
        return (l_strUri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttp || l_strUri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttps);
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}
