Hi Dipti,

Try this

               
      SPWebApplication webApplication = SPContext.Current.Site.WebApplication;
      SPSiteCollection siteCollections = webApplication.Sites;
      foreach (SPSite siteCollection in siteCollections)
      {
          //use this "siteCollection.Url" to get top level site collection UL
      }

Hi,

Try the following snippet to get the first (Top-Level) Site Collection from the WebApplication.

        SPWebApplication webapp = SPContext.Current.Site.WebApplication;
        SPSite site = webapp.Sites.First<SPSite>();
        Response.Write(site.Url);
