How to get the difference between two URIs in C#

Overview

We can get the difference between two instances of a Uri class by using the MakeRelativeUri() method. This method takes two absolute Uri instances and checks if they are the same. If they both have the same base Uri, then the relative Uri of either one will be returned. If they have a different base Uri, then one of them will be returned.

Syntax

using System;
class HelloWorld
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create some Uri instances
        Uri address1 = new Uri("https://www.educative.io");
        Uri address2 = new Uri("https://www.educative.io/about.html");
        Uri address3 = new Uri("https://www.google.com");
        Uri address4 = new Uri("https://www.google.com/about.html?greeting=welcome");
        
        // Determine the differences
        Console.WriteLine("The difference is {0}", address1.MakeRelativeUri(address2));
        Console.WriteLine("The difference is {0}", address1.MakeRelativeUri(address3));
        Console.WriteLine("The difference is {0}", address3.MakeRelativeUri(address4));
    }
}
