Path.Combine for URLs?

Question

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.

There's already some great answers here. Based on mdsharpe suggestion, here's an extension method that can easily be used when you want to deal with Uri instances:

using System;
using System.Linq;

public static class UriExtensions
{
    public static Uri Append(this Uri uri, params string[] paths)
    {
        return new Uri(paths.Aggregate(uri.AbsoluteUri, (current, path) => string.Format("{0}/{1}", current.TrimEnd('/'), path.TrimStart('/'))));
    }
}

And usage example:

var url = new Uri("http://example.com/subpath/").Append("/part1/", "part2").AbsoluteUri;

This will produce http://example.com/subpath/part1/part2
