== Why is this an issue?

String representations of URIs or URLs are prone to parsing and encoding errors which can lead to vulnerabilities. The ``++System.Uri++`` class is a safe alternative and should be preferred.


This rule raises an issue when a property is a string type and its name contains "uri", "Uri", "urn", "Urn", "url" or "Url".


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,text]
----
using System;

namespace MyLibrary
{
   public class MyClass
   {
      string myUri;

      public string MyUri // Noncompliant
      {
         get { return myURI; }
         set { myUri = value; }
      }
   }
}

=== Compliant solution

[source,text]
----
using System;

namespace MyLibrary
{
   public class MyClass
   {
      Uri myUri;

      public Uri MyUri
      {
         get { return myURI; }
         set { myUri = value; }
      }
   }
}
