How can I make the line below case insensitive?
drUser["Enrolled"] =
(enrolledUsers.FindIndex(x => x.Username == (string)drUser["Username"]) != -1);
I was given some advice earlier today that suggested I use:
x.Username.Equals((string)drUser["Username"], StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)));
the trouble is I can't get this to work, I've tried the line below, this compiles but returns the wrong results, it returns enrolled users as unenrolled and unenrolled users as enrolled.
drUser["Enrolled"] =
(enrolledUsers.FindIndex(x => x.Username.Equals((string)drUser["Username"],
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)));
Can anyone point out the problem?
This is not the best practice in .NET framework (4 & +) to check equality
String.Compare(x.Username, (string)drUser["Username"],
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0
Use the following instead
String.Equals(x.Username, (string)drUser["Username"],
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
- Use an overload of the String.Equals method to test whether two strings are equal.
- Use the String.Compare and String.CompareTo methods to sort strings, not to check for equality.
