    <p>What is the best way to compare two paths in .Net to figure out if they point to the same file or directory?</p> <ol> <li><p>How would one verify that these are the same:</p> <pre><code>c:\Some Dir\SOME FILE.XXX C:\\\SOME DIR\some file.xxx </code></pre></li> <li><p>Even better: is there a way to verify that these paths point to the same file on some network drive:</p> <pre><code>h:\Some File.xxx \\Some Host\Some Share\Some File.xxx </code></pre></li> </ol> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>Kent Boogaart has answered my first question correctly; but I`m still curious to see if there is a solution to my second question about comparing paths of files and directories on a network drive.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2 (combined answers for my two questions):</strong></p> <p><strong>Question 1:</strong> local and/or network files and directories</p> <pre><code>c:\Some Dir\SOME FILE.XXX C:\\\SOME DIR\some file.xxx </code></pre> <p><strong>Answer:</strong> use <code>System.IO.Path.GetFullPath</code> as exemplified with:</p> <pre><code>var path1 = Path.GetFullPath(@"c:\Some Dir\SOME FILE.XXX"); var path2 = Path.GetFullPath(@"C:\\\SOME DIR\subdir\..\some file.xxx"); // outputs true Console.WriteLine("{0} == {1} ? {2}", path1, path2, string.Equals(path1, path2, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)); </code></pre> <p><strong>Question 2:</strong> local and/or network files and directories</p> <p><strong>Answer:</strong> Use the GetPath method as posted on <a href="http://briancaos.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/get-local-path-from-unc-path/" rel="noreferrer">http://briancaos.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/get-local-path-from-unc-path/</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
