String.ToUpperInvariant Method

Definition

Returns a copy of this String object converted to uppercase using the casing rules of the invariant culture.

public:
 System::String ^ ToUpperInvariant();
public string ToUpperInvariant ();
member this.ToUpperInvariant : unit -> string
Public Function ToUpperInvariant () As String

Returns

The uppercase equivalent of the current string.

Examples

The following example defines a string array that contains a single word in a number of languages. The ToUpperInvariant method is used to populate the elements of a parallel array with the case-insensitive version of each word. The Array.Sort<TKey,TValue>(TKey[], TValue[], IComparer<TKey>) method is used to sort the case-sensitive array based on the order of elements in the uppercase array to ensure that elements appear in the same order regardless of language.

Remarks

The invariant culture represents a culture that is culture-insensitive. It is associated with the English language but not with a specific country or region. For more information, see the CultureInfo.InvariantCulture property.

If your application depends on the case of a string changing in a predictable way that is unaffected by the current culture, use the ToUpperInvariant method. The ToUpperInvariant method is equivalent to ToUpper(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture). The method is recommended when a collection of strings must appear in a predictable order in a user interface control.

Note

This method does not modify the value of the current instance. Instead, it returns a new string in which all characters in the current instance are converted to uppercase.

If you need the lowercase or uppercase version of an operating system identifier, such as a file name, named pipe, or registry key, use the ToLowerInvariant or ToUpperInvariant methods.
