Path.Combine absolute with relative path strings

Question

I\'m trying to join a Windows path with a relative path using Path.Combine.

However, Path.Combine(@\"C:\\blah\",@\"..\\bling\") returns C:\\blah\\

Answer 1

For windows universal apps Path.GetFullPath() is not available, you can use the System.Uri class instead:

 Uri uri = new Uri(Path.Combine(@"C:\blah\",@"..\bling"));
 Console.WriteLine(uri.LocalPath);
