If someone wanted to break up their URL this expression would not be the way to go, at least in its current state. I looked at the .Net docs and I could not find Uri.TryParse, there was a Uri.Parse but this is marked as obsolete. Is this in a special library or am I overlooking it? Cheers for your feedback Hi Sebastien,

As per the RFC on URIs, domain names (?[A-Za-z0-9]([A-Za-z0-9-]*[A-Za-z0-9]))?\.)*(?[A-Za-z]([A-Za-z-]*[A-Za-z])?) Your current regex would happily parse completely invalid urls formed of unicode characters. That said, this does not include any support for IRI and IDNs where more stop points are to be recognized... What's wrong with Uri.TryParse? :) The \w use is factually incorrect.

What’s wrong with Uri.TryParse? :)
