Answer 1

If the URI is a local file URI of the form file://whatever then you can call string path = new Uri(whatever).LocalPath and call the Path methods on it. If you cannot guarantee the Uri is to a local path, you cannot guarantee components of the Uri correspond to machines, folders, files, extensions, use directories, separator characters, or anything else.
