The Uri.Segments property returns an array of strings containing the "segments" (substrings) that form the URI's absolute path. The first segment is obtained by parsing the absolute path from its first character until you reach a slash (/) or the end of the path. Each additional segment begins at the first character after the preceding segment, and terminates with the next slash or the end of the path. (A URI's absolute path contains everything after the host and port and before the query and fragment.)

The following example shows the absolute path and segments for two URIs. The second example illustrates that the fragment and query are not part of the absolute path and therefore are not segments.

Absolute URI	http://www.contoso.com/Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm
Absolute path	/Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm
Segments	/Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm

Absolute URI	http://www.contoso.com/Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm#page1?answer=NO
Absolute path	/Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm
Segments	/Chapters/Chapter1/Sections/Section1.htm

Note that because the absolute path starts with a '/', the first segment contains it and nothing else.
