How to determine if URL is relative or literal?

[Guest]

Is there any Framework classes that allow you to provide a URL as a string,
and determine whether it is a relative URL or literal URL?

Once that's determined, I'd then like to remove the protocol and domain
sections.

Ie:

Take http://www.mydomain.co.uk/admin/admin.aspx

and return

/admin/admin.aspx

Kind regards

Thought that I might add to this that there are many ways of expressing
relative and literal URL that a user could provide via a GUI:

http://www.mydomain.co.uk/admin/admin.aspx
www.mydomain.co.uk/admin/admin.aspx
mydomain.co.uk/admin/admin.aspx
/admin/admin.aspx
admin/admin.aspx

And if they want to provide a URL to a folder, but not a page:

http://www.mydomain.co.uk/admin
http://www.mydomain.co.uk/admin/
www.mydomain.co.uk/admin
mydomain.co.uk/admin
admin
/admin
/admin/

and so on...

Best bet would probably be the Uri class
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html
/frlrfsystemuriclasstopic.asp)

Create the path using the UriBuilder and use the various members of the Uri
class to extract the required information.
