Hi,

I'm also facing the same problem as AutoSponge. I need to show the start date of an event, but I just cannot get it work.

Clearly I didn't read to the end of your post. You're absolutely correct. This is a much cleaner and more efficient method. Thanks!

You've missed my point.

I didn't say you have to use IndexOf or my Contains()(which relies on IndexOf ) with StringComparison. I've tried to explain why you don't need to use ToUpper in your case and how to replace it with a call to Equals. If you change your if statement to

if (myFile.Name.Equals(webPartName, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))

{

}

you will get absolutely the same results(without additional memory allocations of ToUpper)

Thanks for the input!

While the indexof may work to tell if "abc" is in "abcde" it will not tell you that "abc" is equal to "Abcde". It will in fact return a non-zero value and therefore I would miss my match and load the wrong file. The idea is that the name that I'm searching for and the name that I found must match exactly except for character case.

This was a real example since the client has arrangements of controls on pages for each region/country. Their naming convention required EN-US to be "abc.xml" and EU to be "abc_eu.xml" so you see my dilema. If the "abc_eu.xml" happened to appear before "abc.xml" in the list, I'd catch it and load it inappropriately.

Still, if you checked the length and as well as the indexof, you'd be assured of a match but that's another operation.

Hi.

I have a suggestion related to string comparison.

Don't use ToUpper() when you only need to compare two strings ignoring the case. I've written a post about that.
