How to check if directory 1 is a subdirectory of dir2 and vice versa

Question

What is an easy way to check if directory 1 is a subdirectory of directory 2 and vice versa?

I checked the Path and DirectoryInfo helperclasses but found no system-r

Answer 1

Here's a simpler way to do it using the Uri class:

var parentUri = new Uri(parentPath);
var childUri = new Uri(childPath);
if (parentUri != childUri && parentUri.IsBaseOf(childUri))
{
   //dowork
}
