How to update C# Uri Segment?

I have a Uri with a URL in the format: /Review/{product name}/{id}

I'd like to update segment product name like:

uri.Segments[2] = product.UrlFriendlyProductName;

when I execute the above code, the Uri doesn't update. Any Suggestions?

The UriTemplate class could be useful for you, but it is not available in .NET Core.

Try maybe Tavis.UriTemplates library.

Uri class is immutable in a sense that you cannot modify it via public interface. Segments basically just splits Path by '/' and returns that. To edit Uri you can use UriBuilder class (which still doesn't modify original, but creates a modified copy). But it doesn't contain convenient Segments property, so you have to split yourself. For example:

var url = new Uri("http://something/Review/name/1");
var builder = new UriBuilder(url);
// extract segments from path
var segments = builder.Path.Split('/');
// modify
segments[2] = "bla";
// combine back
builder.Path = String.Join('/', segments);
// modified uri
var result = builder.Uri;
