Convert the URL entered by user in textbox to URI format

Question

I am working on windows phone application. The user enters the ip and port of his server, database name, username and password. In the code i access the url entered by 'urltext.Text' But the error pops up 'Invalid URI format'. How to convert the data from textbox to valid URI format.

private void SendDataButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Uri myuri = new Uri(urltext.Text);
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myuri);
        Debug.WriteLine("Hello I m here");
        Debug.WriteLine(request.GetType());
        request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(FinishWebRequest), request);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

I want to take that entered url from the user and put in .Create() HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myuri);

Answer 1

Please try this

Uri myuri = new Uri(urltext.Text);
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myuri);

instead of

HttpWebRequest request =(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(urltext.Text);

hope it work for you
