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

I read many answers here but didn't find one that I liked because they break in some cases.

So, I am using this:

public Uri GetParentUri(Uri uri) {
    var withoutQuery = new Uri(uri.GetComponents(UriComponents.Scheme |
                                                 UriComponents.UserInfo |
                                                 UriComponents.Host |
                                                 UriComponents.Port |
                                                 UriComponents.Path, UriFormat.UriEscaped));
    var trimmed = new Uri(withoutQuery.AbsoluteUri.TrimEnd('/'));
    var result = new Uri(trimmed, ".");
    return result;
}

Note: It removes the Query and the Fragment intentionally.
