Request.Url.PathAndQuery in Asp.Net Core

Question

I moved from Asp.Net Framework to Asp.Net Core. What would be the replacement or equivalent property for Request.Url.PathAndQuery in Asp.Net Core?

Answer 1

From ASP.NET Core 2.0 onwards use the UriHelper.GetEncodedPathAndQuery(HttpRequest) extension method.

It's in the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Extensions namespace.

For example, inside a Controller action method:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Extensions;

[...]

[Route("/foobar")]
public IActionResult MyControllerAction()
{
    string pathAndQuery = this.Request.GetEncodedPathAndQuery();
}

Answer 2

You need to access url path and query string separately using HttpContext.

In controller:

var path = HttpContext.Request.Path;
var query = HttpContext.Request.QueryString;
var pathAndQuery = path + query;

To get HttpContext, refer to How to Access HttpContext in Asp.Net Core
