Provide property to return parent directory on DirectoryPath

[pascalberger]

Currently getting the parent directory of a DirectoryPath requires some additional steps. Having a DirectoryPath.Parent property would be helpful.

Sounds good, but should be a method unless we construct this at the point that the directory is created.

Hello! I'm new to this and would like to try tackling this issue :)

[LagunaElectric]

Wow that was fast!

[augustoproiete]

Awesome @LagunaElectric assigned it to you and looking forward to the PR!

[LagunaElectric]

Mind if I ask for directions to DirectoryPath declaration?

Thank you very much! I'm thinking of simply making a method there allowing one to do DirectroyPath.Parent as suggested above.

[augustoproiete]

Sounds good. Probably something like:

public DirectoryPath GetParent()
{
    // ...
}

?

Don't forget to include unit tests in the PR! 😉

Will do! Apparently my VS can't find the .NET Core SDKs. Rectifying that now.
