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.
