Get URL in HTML / cshtml

Question

I want to get the current URL into a string that I can use for e.g. share functionality later.

String strPathAndQuery = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;

I get the error:

The name HttpContext does not exist in the current context.

Is there another way?

Where are you using the above statement? In View? – Satpal May 25 '16 at 12:48 — Satpal, May 25 '16 at 12:48

In case you are using MVC 3 or higher: Here is a related questions.

In case you are using ASP .Net MVC Core 1.0 you should use this code:

Context.Request.Path

I believe that you can do Request.RawUrl and it should return the entire current page URL.

So you would do:

@{
  string strPathAndQuery = Request.RawUrl;    
}
