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.com/", "/Images/Image.jpg")
which would return:
"http://MyUrl.com/Images/Image.jpg"
There is a Todd Menier's comment above that Flurl includes a Url.Combine.
More details:
Url.Combine is basically a Path.Combine for URLs, ensuring one and only one separator character between parts:
var url = Url.Combine(
"http://foo.com/",
"/too/", "/many/", "/slashes/",
"too", "few?",
"x=1", "y=2"
// result: "http://www.foo.com/too/many/slashes/too/few?x=1&y=2"
Get Flurl.Http on NuGet:
PM> Install-Package Flurl.Http
Or get the stand-alone URL builder without the HTTP features:
PM> Install-Package Flurl
Uri has a constructor that should do this for you: new Uri(Uri baseUri, string relativeUri)
Here's an example:
Uri baseUri = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com");
Uri myUri = new Uri(baseUri, "catalog/shownew.htm");
Note from editor: Beware, this method does not work as expected. It can cut part of baseUri in some cases. See comments and other answers.
