I may not be the first person to ask this question but I can't find what I was looking for after looking around. I want to get base URL from the URL. I have tried

    HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri

It would return me the full URL 

    http://localhost:59112/Resources/VideoPlayer.aspx?ID=resources1.mp4

I would just need until here (e.g.) 

    http://localhost:59112/

Thanks for your help.

Url ex: http://localhost:59112/Resources/VideoPlayer.aspx?ID=resources1.mp4

HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority

Return: "localhost:59112"

HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Scheme & "://" & HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority

Return: "http://localhost:59112"

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim address As Uri = New Uri("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12568530/how-to-get-the-base-url-of-the-website-vb-net")
    MsgBox("http://" & address.Host)
End Sub

In .Net 4 and later you can use -

Dim Url as String = Request.Url.OriginalString
Dim Domain as String = Url.Replace(Request.PathAndQuery, "")

Output -
Url = "http://localhost:9898/content/page.aspx
Domain = "http://localhost:9898"
