Question

I am generating a relative path from 1 directory to another. If the OutputDirectoryName property is a directory containing spaces, the spaces are encoded using %20, rather than a space. I am creating a relative path to a windows folder, so I must have my relatiave path using spaces. Is there a clean way to specify how the URI is encoded? I know I could do a stirng replace on the relativePath.ToString(), but am wondering if there’s a better implementation.
Thanks.

public string GetOutputDirectoryAsRelativePath(string baseDirectory)
{
    Uri baseUri = new Uri(baseDirectory);
    Uri destinationUri = new Uri(OutputDirectoryName);
    Uri relativePath = baseUri.MakeRelativeUri(destinationUri);
    return relativePath.ToString();
}

You can use

Uri.UnescapeDataString
