How do I remove the port number from a URL in C#.NET?

Regular Expression:
:{1}\d*

Using C#.NET, the above regular expression can be applied to a URL to strip the port number (along with ":"):

Regex regex = new Regex( @":{1}\d{1,}" );
string url = regex.Replace( "http://andrewgunn.blogspot.com:81/", string.Empty );

This code removes the colon from "http://" as well as the port.

This will do it:

Regex regex = new Regex(@":{1}[0-9]{1}\d*");
string uriLeftPart = regex.Replace(Context.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority), string.Empty);
return uriLeftPart;

Thanks for spotting that. I've changed the post but I've gone for a slighlty different expression:

:{1}\d{1,}
