Gets a StringComparer object that performs case-insensitive string comparisons using the word comparison rules of the current culture.
Syntax
Value
Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
Remarks
The current culture is the System.Globalization.CultureInfo object associated with the current thread.
The StringComparer returned by the StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase property can be used when strings are linguistically relevant but their case is not. For example, if strings are displayed to the user but case is unimportant, culture-sensitive, case-insensitive string comparison should be used to order the string data.
The StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase property actually returns an instance of an anonymous class derived from the StringComparer class.
Each call to the StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase property get accessor returns a new StringComparer object, as the following code shows.
code reference: System.StringComparer.CurrentCulture#2
To improve performance, you can store the StringComparer object in a local variable rather than retrieve the value of the StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase property multiple times.
