Remove last segment of Request.Url

Question

I would like to remove the last segment of Request.Url, so for instance...

http://www.example.com/admin/users.aspx/deleteUser

Answer 1

Well the trivial solution would be to iterate char by char from the end of the string towards its beginning and search for the first '/' to come (I guess that also came into your mind).

Try this:

string url = "http://www.example.com/admin/users.aspx/deleteUser";

for (int i = url.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {

    if (url[i] == '/') return url.Substring(0, i - 1);
}
