How to get the base URL of the website VB.NET

Question

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.

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

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"
