Parsing an arbitrary file path as a Uri or similar

Hello there. I would like to be able to parse the following inputs in such a way that I'm aware if they are a relative or absolute path:

path/to/file.txt -> "Relative"
/path/to/file.txt -> "Absolute"
./path/to/file.txt -> "Relative"

path/to/file.txt -> "Relative"
/path/to/file.txt -> "Absolute"
./path/to/file.txt -> "Relative"

path/to/file.txt -> "Relative"
/path/to/file.txt -> "Absolute"
./path/to/file.txt -> "Relative"

path/to/file.txt -> "Relative"
/path/to/file.txt -> "Absolute"
./path/to/file.txt -> "Relative"

I'm having trouble getting this to work with

Uri.TryCreate()

Uri.TryCreate()

Uri.TryCreate()

Uri.TryCreate(). they all return

false

false

for their

IsAbsoluteUri

IsAbsoluteUri

IsAbsoluteUri

IsAbsoluteUri properties, when at least the second one should be

true

true

. I'm not sure what properties or methods I should utilize to obtain the information I'm after.

Any pointers/tips?
