C# Case insensitive string comparison [duplicate]

Question

I have a list that holds a few strings(names). For this example. It will hold:

• TeSt1
• TeSt2
• TeSt3

And I'm trying to check if that list has one of those. And I'm doing this like this at the moment:

if (list.Contains(test2))
{

}

But I need it to be case insensitive.. But how can I do that? in an if statement.

Answer 1

The Contains method has an overload that accepts an IEqualityComparer. You can give it one by doing the following:

 if (list.Contains(test2, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))  
 {  
     // do something  
 }
