// This code produces output similar to the following:
//
// When you combine 'c:\temp' and 'subdir\file.txt', the result is: 
// 'c:\temp\subdir\file.txt'
// 
// When you combine 'c:\temp' and 'c:\temp.txt', the result is: 
// 'c:\temp.txt'
// 
// When you combine 'c:\temp.txt' and 'subdir\file.txt', the result is: 
// 'c:\temp.txt\subdir\file.txt'
// 
// When you combine 'c:^*&)(_=@#'\^&#2.*(.txt' and 'subdir\file.txt', the result is: 
// 'c:^*&)(_=@#'\^&#2.*(.txt\subdir\file.txt'
// 
// When you combine '' and 'subdir\file.txt', the result is: 
// 'subdir\file.txt'
// 
// You cannot combine 'null' and 'subdir\file.txt' because: 
// Value cannot be null.
// Parameter name: path1
