Given full path, check if path is subdirectory of some other path, or otherwise

by 
DirectoryInfo di1 = new DirectoryInfo(dir1);
DirectoryInfo di2 = new DirectoryInfo(dir2);
bool isParent = di2.Parent.FullName == di1.FullName;

Or in a loop to allow for nested sub-directories, i.e. C:\foo\bar\baz is a sub directory of C:\foo :

DirectoryInfo di1 = new DirectoryInfo(dir1);
DirectoryInfo di2 = new DirectoryInfo(dir2);
bool isParent = false;
while (di2.Parent != null)
{
    if (di2.Parent.FullName == di1.FullName)
    {
        isParent = true;
        break;
    }
    else di2 = di2.Parent;
}
