The easiest way to check if a path is an UNC path is of course to check if the first character in the full path is a letter or backslash. Is this a good solution or could there be problems with it?
My specific problem is that I want to create an System.IO.DriveInfo-object if there is a drive letter in the path.
Since a path without two backslashes in the first and second positions is, by definiton, not a UNC path, this is a safe way to make this determination.
A path with a drive letter in the first position (c:) is a rooted local path.
A path without either of this things (myfolder\blah) is a relative local path. This includes a path with only a single slash (\myfolder\blah).
