How to combine URIs

Question

I have two Uri objects passed into some code, one is a directory and the other is a filename (or a relative path)

var a = new Uri(\"file:///C:/Some/Dirs\");
         


        

Answer 1

This should do the trick for you:

var baseUri = new Uri("http://www.briankeating.net");
var absoluteUri = new Uri(baseUri, "/api/GetDefinitions");

This constructor follow the standard relative URI rules so the / are important :

• http://example.net + foo = http://example.net/foo
• http://example.net/foo/bar + baz = http://example.net/foo/baz
• http://example.net/foo/ + bar = http://example.net/foo/bar
• http://example.net/foo + bar = http://example.net/bar
• http://example.net/foo/bar/ + /baz = http://example.net/baz
