String.ToLowerInvariant Method

Definition

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

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

Returns

The lowercase equivalent of the current string.

Examples

The following example defines a string array that contains a single word in a number of languages. The ToLowerInvariant 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 lowercase array to ensure that elements appear in the same order regardless of language.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      string[] words = { "Tuesday", "Salı", "Вторник", "Mardi", 
                         "Τρίτη", "Martes", "יום שלישי", 
                         "الثلاثاء", "วันอังคาร" };
      // Display array in unsorted order.
      foreach (string word in words)
         Console.WriteLine(word);
      Console.WriteLine();

      // Create parallel array of words by calling ToLowerInvariant.
      string[] lowerWords = new string[words.Length];
      for (int ctr = words.GetLowerBound(0); ctr <= words.GetUpperBound(0); ctr++)
         lowerWords[ctr] = words[ctr].ToLowerInvariant();
      
      // Sort the words array based on the order of lowerWords.
      Array.Sort(lowerWords, words, StringComparer.InvariantCulture);
      
      // Display the sorted array.
      foreach (string word in words)
         Console.WriteLine(word);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Tuesday
//       Salı

// Display array in unsorted order.

// Create parallel array of words by calling ToLowerInvariant.
let lowerWords =

// Sort the words array based on the order of lowerWords.
Array.Sort(lowerWords, words, StringComparer.InvariantCulture)

// Display the sorted array.

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 ToLowerInvariant method. The ToLowerInvariant method is equivalent to ToLower(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 lowercase.

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.
