Path.Combine for URLs?

Question

Path.Combine is handy, but is there a similar function in the .NET framework for URLs?

I\'m looking for syntax like this:

Url.Combine(\"http://MyUrl.

For anyone who is looking for a one-liner and simply wants to join parts of a path without creating a new method or referencing a new library or construct a URI value and convert that to a string, then...

string urlToImage = String.Join("/", "websiteUrl", "folder1", "folder2", "folder3", "item");

It's pretty basic, but I don't see what more you need. If you're afraid of doubled '/' then you can simply do a .Replace("//", "/") afterward. If you're afraid of replacing the doubled '//' in 'https://', then instead do one join, replace the doubled '/', then join the website url (however I'm pretty sure most browsers will automatically convert anything with 'https:' in the front of it to read in the correct format). This would look like:

string urlToImage = String.Join("/","websiteUrl", String.Join("/", "folder1", "folder2", "folder3", "item").Replace("//","/"));

There are plenty of answers here that will handle all the above, but in my case, I only needed it once in one location and won't need to heavily rely on it. Also, it's really easy to see what is going on here.
