In a Silverlight application I sometimes need to connect to the web site where the application is hosted. To avoid hard coding the web site in my Silverlight application I use code like this:
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
Uri baseUri = new Uri(webClient.BaseAddress);
UriBuilder uriBuilder = new UriBuilder(baseUri.Scheme, baseUri.Host, baseUri.Port);
// Continue building the URL ...
It feels very clunky to create a WebClient instance just to get access to the URL of the XAP file. Are there any alternatives?
