How do I get a relative path from one path to another in C#
.net, c#
Solution
`Uri` works:
Uri path1 = new Uri(@"c:\dir1\dir2\");
Uri path2 = new Uri(@"c:\dir1\dir3\file1.txt");
Uri diff = path1.MakeRelativeUri(path2);
string relPath = diff.OriginalString;
Problem
I'm hoping there is a built in .NET method to do this, but I'm not finding it. I have two paths that I know to be on the same root drive, I want to be able to get a relative path from one to the other. ``` string path1 = @"c:\dir1\dir2\"; string path2 = @"c:\dir1\dir3\file1.txt"; string relPath = MysteryFunctionThatShouldExist(path1, path2); // relPath == "..\dir3\file1.txt" ``` Does this function exist? If not what would be the best way to implement it?
