Get current URL but excluding some parts

Question

The current URL looks like: http://mycompany.com/jobs/java-developer.aspx#.U9-RH2OTLfA

I need to get the part before the #, so it's gonna be: http://mycompany.com/jobs/java-developer.aspx

How can I do that in code behind?

@RickS That's not a query string though, it's an anchor/fragment/tag. — Robby Cornelissen, Aug 04 '14 at 14:38

You can use Uri class:

var uri = new Uri("http://mycompany.com/jobs/java-developer.aspx#.U9-RH2OTLfA");
var result = uri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path);

string url = "http://mycompany.com/jobs/java-developer.aspx#.U9-RH2OTLfA";
string path = url.Substring(0, url.IndexOf("#"));

    private String getGoodString(String url)
    {
         return url.Substring(0, url.IndexOf("#") - 1);
    }

This will return everything up to but not including the # symbol in your string. Assuming you have a # to signal when to stop getting the string of the URL. Otherwise if there are multiple #. You can use lastIndexOf, or firstIndexOf if you need to "trim the fat".
