Getting the parent name of a URI/URL from absolute name C#

Question

Given an absolute URI/URL, I want to get a URI/URL which doesn\'t contain the leaf portion. For example: given http://foo.com/bar/baz.html, I should get http://foo.com/bar/.

Answer 1

There must be an easier way to do this with the built in uri methods but here is my twist on @unknown (yahoo)'s suggestion.
In this version you don't need System.Linq and it also handles URIs with query strings:

private static string GetParentUriString(Uri uri)
{
    return uri.AbsoluteUri.Remove(uri.AbsoluteUri.Length - uri.Segments[uri.Segments.Length -1].Length - uri.Query.Length);
}
