Is there a URL validator on .Net?

Question

Is there a method to validate URLs in .Net, ASP.Net, or ASP.Net MVC?

Answer 1

You can use Uri.IsWellFormedUriString, no need to create your own function for that:

public static bool IsWellFormedUriString(string uriString, uriKind uriKind);

Where uriKind can be:

UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute 
UriKind.Absolute
UriKind.Relative
