How to get a certain part of current URL in silverlight?

Question

I need a certain part of current URL.
Say for example the URL is: http://www.abc.com/123/product/234?productid=123
And I want to check if a certain string contains http://www.abc.com/123

Please don't give answers like "do string manipulation" and all. Is there a way to get this sort of URL?

Answer 1

The Uri class has some really helpful methods for Uri mangling - including Uri.TryCreate.

Specifically, the GetComponents method might help you.
