C# Assigning default value to System.Uri property

Question

I have a project which is about RESTful API and I have as a property the basic URL, on which I need to add parts each time (that's in my methods). I need (a) to declare the default (unchanged) path, and then (b) some help on how do I add to the URL. Example:

    public partial class APIParamaters
{
    public System.Uri URL { get; set; } = (System.Uri) "http://192.100.106.657:8811/some/part/here/version1/api";   //throws error !!!
}

This is throwing an error and I don't know how to correct. Also, how do I later add to the URL, for example, I am trying

    class MyTest
{
    public string SpecialPart = "Excellent";

    public APIParamaters myParams = new APIParamaters
    {
        URL = URL + SpecialPart + "FirstCall",     //trying to do: "http://192.100.106.657:8811/some/part/here/version1/api/Excellent/FirstCall"
        SomethingElse = "Ok"
        //etc..
    };
}

The following code means (cast this string as System.Uri) but string can not be cast as System.Uri:

(System.Uri) "http://192.100.106.657:8811/some/part/here/version1/api";

You should instantiate System.Uri:

public System.Uri URL { get; set; } = new System.Uri("http://192.100.106.657:8811/some/part/here/version1/api");

Thank you very much, worked perfectly. Any idea on how do I add parts at the end of it (refering to the "public APIParamaters myParams = new APIParamaters" part of the question). Thank you very much ! – Nick Dec 17 '19 at 15:35
