Path.Combine two relative path strings to create new relative path

Question

I'm trying to join two relative paths to create another relative (NOT absolute) path using Path.Combine.

string path1=@"rootDir\DirA\DirAA";
string path2=@"..\..\DirB";
Console.WriteLine(Path.Combine(path1, path2));
//I get: rootDir\DirA\DirAA\..\..\DirB
Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(path1, path2)));
//I get: C:User\rootDir\DirB

What I actually want is

//rootDir\DirB

Is there any way to accomplish that using Path?

Answer 1

Try this:

Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(path1, path2))
    .Substring(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().Length + 1);
