Relative path to absolute path in C

Question

I have xml files that contain href file paths to images  e g        images image jpg    The hrefs contain relative paths  Now  I need to extract the hrefs to the images and turn them into absolute paths in the file system   I know about the GetFullPath method  but I tried it and it only seems to work from the CurrentDirectory set  which appears to be C  so I don t see how I could use that  And still  I have the absolute path of the file containing the hrefs  and the href relative paths  so since it is a simple task for me to count back the number of         parts based on the absolute path of the containing file  it seems there must be a way to do this programmatically as well   I m hoping there s some simple method I just don t know about  Any ideas

Assuming you know the real directory the XML file lives in use Path.Combine, e.g.

var absolute_path = Path.Combine(directoryXmlLivesIn, "..\images\image.jpg");

If you want to get back the full path with any ..'s collapsed then you can use:

Path.GetFullPath((new Uri(absolute_path)).LocalPath);
