Opening a file using its URI format

Question

This code

FileOpen(1, "file:///C:/Users/MyName/Desktop/Test%20%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC%20Test.txt", OpenMode.Input)

throws

System.ArgumentException: 'URI formats are not supported.'

How can I open a file using th URI format? Changing the filename in the code above is not an option, it is delivered by

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ActivationArguments.ActivationData

You can use this:

Dim UriS As Uri("The Uri")
FileOpen(1,UriS.LocalPath,OpenMode.Input)
