Answer 1

I recently ran into an issue where I compared a URL to the current URL, and then highlighted navigation based on that. It worked locally, but not in production.

I had http://example.com/path/to/file.aspx as my file, but when viewing that file and running Request.Url.ToString() it produced https://example.com:81/path/to/file.aspx in a load balanced production environment.

Now I am using Request.Url.AbsolutePath to just give me /path/to/file.aspx, thus ignoring the schema, hostname, and port numbers.

When I need to compare it to the URL on each navigation item I used: New Uri(theLink.Href).AbsolutePath
