Parameters

fromPath

The starting virtual path to return the relative virtual path from.

toPath

The ending virtual path to return the relative virtual path to.

Return Value

The relative virtual path from fromPath to toPath.

Exception typeCondition

ArgumentException

fromPath is not rooted.

- or -

toPath is not rooted.

If the fromPath and toPath parameters are not rooted; that is, they do not equal the root operator (the tilde [~]), do not start with a tilde (~), such as a tilde and a slash mark (~/) or a tilde and a double backslash (~//), or do not start with a slash mark (/), an ArgumentException exception is thrown.

Query string parameters and HTML anchors that are used in the URI are not used in determining the relative path.

If fromPath is "/directory1/file1.aspx" and toPath is "/directory2/file2.aspx", the MakeRelative method returns "../directory2/file2.aspx".
