What does a semicolon ";" do in a Uri string?

Question

I saw a line in C# codes:

Image = new BitmapImage(
    new Uri("/MyProgramName;component/Images/a.png", UriKind.Relative));

What does that ";" do in this Uri string?

That a.png is actually under MyProgramName/Images/a.png.

It is just a delimeter for one of the variations of WPF Resource URIs. Semicolon does not hold any specific universal meaning for all URIs.
