    <p>I'm aware that there are easier ways to do this and believe me, I've tried them. I'm of course open to any suggestions =). You don't need to read the whole code, just the part that says where the problem lies. Also, I'm debbugging perl style so you guys can see. Oh and did I mention that on my development environment everything works as intended?</p> <p>Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>string GetPortalAlias() { String myURL2 = Request.Url.ToString(); URLLabel.Text = "Original Request.Url.ToString() returned: \"" + myURL2 + "\""; string myURL = string.Copy(myURL2); URLLabel.Text = "Copying it to myURL, it's now: \"" + myURL + "\""; myURL = myURL.ToLower().Trim(); URLLabel.Text += "&lt;br&gt;Trimming and ToLower myURL.&lt;br&gt;The new url is \"" + myURL + "\"" + "&lt;br&gt;"; myURL = myURL.Replace(":80", ""); URLLabel.Text += "Replacing the \":80\".&lt;br&gt; The new url is\"" + myURL + "\"&lt;br&gt;"; //***HERE LIES THE PROBLEM*** myURL = myURL.Replace("http://", ""); URLLabel.Text += "Replacing the \"http://\".&lt;br&gt; The new url is\"" + myURL + "\"&lt;br&gt;"; //***PROBLEM ENDS*** myURL = myURL.Remove(myURL.IndexOf("/")); URLLabel.Text += "Removing everything after the \"/\"." + "&lt;br&gt; The new url is \"" + myURL + "\"&lt;br&gt;"; URLLabel.Text += "&lt;br&gt;GetPortalAlias Returning \"" + myURL + "\""; return myURL; } </code></pre> <p>Believe it or not, the output produced in the webpage is this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/OpptW.png" alt="output"></p> <pre>Copying it to myURL, it's now: "http://sar.smg.com.ar/Default.aspx?TabID=912" Trimming and ToLower myURL. The new url is "http://sar.smg.com.ar/default.aspx?tabid=912" Replacing the ":80". The new url is"http://sar.smg.com.ar/default.aspx?tabid=912" Replacing the "http://". The new url is"intranetqa/default.aspx?tabid=912" Removing everything after the "/". The new url is "intranetqa" GetPortalAlias Returning "intranetqa" </pre> <p>So... for some reason whenever it reaches the replace section it mysteriously mutates to start with "intranetqa" instead of "sar.smg.com.ar". "intranetqa" is our default hostname. <strong>CHANGING OR TAKING AWAY ANY CHARACTER OF HTTP:// IN ANY WAY MUTATES THE STRING.</strong></p> <p>I do a <code>string.copy</code> because I'm aware that if two strings are equal the compiler stores them in the same place therefore I wanted to prevent errors. Taking those lines away and use <code>Request.Url.ToString()</code> to<code>myURL</code> directly does nothing at all. They were just a test to see if that worked.</p> <p>Here's a list of the things I've tried:</p> <ul> <li>All combinations of <code>string</code> / <code>String</code>, none worked.</li> <li>I've tried <code>Request.Host.Url</code> and it just gave me "intranetqa".</li> <li>I've used <code>Request.Url.AbsoluteUri</code> and that's why I have the replace :80 line.</li> <li>USING THE <code>.tochararray</code> FUNCTION GIVES ME BACK THE INTRANETQA THING</li> <li>myURL = myURL.Substring(6) gives back the intranetqa thing.</li> <li>string.Contains("sar.smg.com.ar") gives back false.</li> </ul> <p><strong>I believe the trick lies around here</strong>:</p> <ul> <li><code>Uri uriAddress1 = Request.Url;</code> and <code>"The parts are &lt;br&gt;" + "Part 1: " + uriAddress1.Segments[0] + "&lt;br&gt;Part 2: " + uriAddress1.Segments[1];</code> Gives Part1 : "/" and Part 2: "Default.aspx". Trying to access part 3 (index 2) gives an exception. The request.url does not have the first part, but when I call the ToString() method, it does have like a "fake" first part</li> </ul>

    2. COThis is probably not important, but I notice you are using a capitol `S` for the first string, and not the second, replace the `S` with an `s` on the first one and try it?

    3. COCan not reproduce this issue at all, have you restarted visual studio or your computer at all? May be worth trying that and seeing if it persists.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
