You're looking for the Uri class:

var uri = new Uri(someString, UriKind.Absolute);
var user = uri.UserInfo;

If that's the guaranteed string you might try something like:

string myString = "http://[email protected]";

if(myString.Contains("@"))
{
    return myString.Split('@')[0].Replace("http://","");
}
