CaseInsensitiveComparer Class
Compares two objects for equivalence, ignoring the case of strings.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CaseInsensitiveComparer() | Initializes a new instance of the CaseInsensitiveComparer class using the Thread.CurrentCulture of the current thread. |
![]() | CaseInsensitiveComparer(CultureInfo) | Initializes a new instance of the CaseInsensitiveComparer class using the specified System.Globalization.CultureInfo. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Default | Gets an instance of CaseInsensitiveComparer that is associated with the Thread.CurrentCulture of the current thread and that is always available. |
![]() ![]() | DefaultInvariant | Gets an instance of CaseInsensitiveComparer that is associated with CultureInfo.InvariantCulture and that is always available. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Compare(Object, Object) | Performs a case-insensitive comparison of two objects of the same type and returns a value indicating whether one is less than, equal to, or greater than the other. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
CaseInsensitiveComparer implements the IComparer interface supporting case-insensitive comparisons on strings, just as CaseInsensitiveHashCodeProvider implements the IHashCodeProvider interface supporting case-insensitive comparisons on strings.
The Comparer class is the default implementation of the IComparer interface and performs case-sensitive string comparisons.
The objects used as keys by a Hashtable are required to override the Object.GetHashCode method (or the IHashCodeProvider interface) and the Object.Equals method (or the IComparer interface). The implementation of both methods or interfaces must handle case sensitivity the same way; otherwise, the Hashtable might behave incorrectly. For example, when creating a Hashtable, you must use this class with the CaseInsensitiveHashCodeProvider class or any case-insensitive IHashCodeProvider implementation.
String comparisons might have different results depending on the culture. For more information on culture-specific comparisons, see the System.Globalization namespace and Globalizing and Localizing .NET Framework Applications.
