Turning a IP Address into a valid URI

Question

I have been trying to navigate my webview element in my windows store app to '192.168.0.1' but for some reason the Uri class can not parse it, is there a way to make convert a IP Address into a Uri?

Answer 1

You can also use UriBuilder and not have to manually add the "http://".

var builder = new UriBuilder("192.168.0.1");
var uri = builder.Uri;

Answer 2

The answer to this is to add the prefix of the ip's protocol:

http:// or https://, for instance

new Uri("192.168.0.1") would have to be new Uri("http://192.168.0.1/")
