title: What is the correct way to check if a path is an UNC path or a local path?
body: <p>The easiest way to check if a path is an UNC path is of course to check if the first character in the full path is a letter or backslash. Is this a good solution or could there be problems with it?</p>
  
  <p>My specific problem is that I want to create an System.IO.DriveInfo-object if there is a drive letter in the path.</p>
