How can I get my webapp s base URL in ASP NET MVC

Question

How can I quickly determine what the root URL is for my ASP NET MVC application   I e   if IIS is set to serve my application at http   example com foo bar  then I d like to be able to get that URL in a reliable way that doesn t involve getting the current URL from the request and chopping it up in some fragile way that breaks if I re-route my action   The reason that I need the base URL is that this web application calls another one that needs the root to the caller web application for callback purposes

Assuming you have a Request object available  you can use   string Format   0     1  2    Request Url Scheme  Request Url Authority  Url Content          If it s not available  you can get to it via the context   var request   HttpContext Current Request

This works fine for me  also with a load balancer           var urlHelper   new UrlHelper Html ViewContext RequestContext       var baseurl   urlHelper Content               lt script gt      var base url     baseurl    lt  script gt    Especially if you are using non-standard port numbers  using Request Url Authority appears like a good lead at first  but fails in a LB environment

Maybe it is extension or modification of the answers posted here but I use simply the following line and it works   Request Url GetLeftPart UriPartial Authority    Url Content        When my path is  http   host iis foldername controller action then I receive   http   host iis foldername

You could have a static method that looks at HttpContext Current and decides which URL to use  development or live server  depending on the host ID  HttpContext might even offer some easier way to do it  but this is the first option I found and it works fine

The trick with relying upon IIS is that IIS bindings can be different from your public URLs  WCF I m looking at you   especially with multi-homed production machines  I tend to vector toward using configuration to explicitly define the  base  url for external purposes as that tends to be a bit more successful than extracting it from the Request object

So none of the ones listed here worked for me  but using a few of the answers  I got something working   public string GetBaseUrl         var request   HttpContext Current Request      var appUrl   HttpRuntime AppDomainAppVirtualPath       if  appUrl                  appUrl         appUrl       var baseUrl   string Format   0     1  2    request Url Scheme  request Url Authority  appUrl        return baseUrl      Update for ASP NET Core   MVC 6   ASP NET Core makes this process a bit more painful  especially if you are deep in your code  You have 2 options to get at the HttpContext  1  Pass it in from your controller   var model   new MyClass HttpContext     then in model   private HttpContext currentContext   public MyClass HttpContext currentContext        this currentContext   currentContext      2  Perhaps the cleaner way is to inject it into your class  which starts with registering the types in your Startup   public void ConfigureServices IServiceCollection services           Add framework services      services AddMvc         services AddTransient lt MyClass  MyClass gt         services TryAddSingleton lt IHttpContextAccessor  HttpContextAccessor gt         then have it injected for you like this   private HttpContext currentContext   public MyClass IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor        currentContext   httpContextAccessor HttpContext      in either case  here is the updated for  NET Core GetBaseUrl     public string GetBaseUrl         var request   currentContext Request       var host   request Host ToUriComponent         var pathBase   request PathBase ToUriComponent         return    request Scheme     host  pathBase
