The following extension method worked for me:

 public static class Extensions
 {
    /// <summary>
    /// Turns a relative URL into a fully qualified URL.
    /// (ie http://domain.com/path?query) 
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="request"></param>
    /// <param name="relativeUrl"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static string GetFullUrl(this HttpRequest request, string relativeUrl) {
        return String.Format("{0}://{1}{2}",
                        request.Url.Scheme,
                        request.Url.Authority,
                        VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(relativeUrl));
    }
 }

Use it as follows:

 HttpContext.Current.Request.GetFullUrl("~/MyOtherPage.aspx");

Works with virtual directories too, and you dont need MVC.

You can use

string FullUrl = Request.Url.Scheme + System.Uri.SchemeDelimiter + Request.Url.Host + "/PDF/MyFile.pdf"

It works in asp.net, I'm not sure about MVC, but it should work too.

You can use the Uri Class to combine an absolute URI and a relative path:

Uri absolute = new Uri("http://redrocksoftware.com.au/");
Uri result = new Uri(absolute, "/PDF/MyFile.pdf");
// result == {http://redrocksoftware.com.au/PDF/MyFile.pdf}
