I've used this before for parsing IP Addresses as suggested.

Re-reading the article today made me realize that I can use it in more ways, and what took me a few hours to do in C# yesterday was replaced in a half hour today.

The scenario I had was checking URLs to see if they matched an /x/{name}/{id} pattern and convert them to an updated pattern swapping the names and id. Using ParseName I passed it in and then did an isnumeric on element1 and if so then check the tables to see if the id existed and if so return the proper format.

Thank you,

Mike
