StringComparer.CurrentCulture Property

Definition

Gets a StringComparer object that performs a case-sensitive string comparison using the word comparison rules of the current culture.

public:
 static property StringComparer ^ CurrentCulture { StringComparer ^ get(); };
public static StringComparer CurrentCulture { get; }
static member CurrentCulture : StringComparer
Public Shared ReadOnly Property CurrentCulture As StringComparer

Property Value

A new StringComparer object.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the properties and the Create method of the StringComparer class. The example illustrates how different StringComparer objects sort three versions of the Latin letter I.

// This example demonstrates members of the
// System::StringComparer class.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;
using namespace System::Globalization;
using namespace System::Threading;

void Display(List<String^>^ stringList, String^ title)
{
    Char firstChar;
    int codePoint;
    Console::WriteLine(title);
    for each (String^ s in stringList)
    {
        firstChar = s[0];
        codePoint = Convert::ToInt32(firstChar);
        Console::WriteLine("0x{0:x}", codePoint);
    }
    Console::WriteLine();
}

int main()
{
    // Create a list of string.
    List<String^>^ stringList = gcnew List<String^>();

    // Get the tr-TR (Turkish-Turkey) culture.
    CultureInfo^ turkishCulture = gcnew CultureInfo("tr-TR");

    // Get the culture that is associated with the current thread.
    CultureInfo^ currentCulture = Thread::CurrentThread->CurrentCulture;

    // Get the standard StringComparers.
    StringComparer^ invariant = StringComparer::InvariantCulture;
    StringComparer^ invariantIgnoreCase =
        StringComparer::InvariantCultureIgnoreCase;
    StringComparer^ current = StringComparer::CurrentCulture;
    StringComparer^ currentIgnoreCase =
        StringComparer::CurrentCultureIgnoreCase;
    StringComparer^ ordinal = StringComparer::Ordinal;
    StringComparer^ ordinalIgnoreCase = StringComparer::OrdinalIgnoreCase;

    // Create a StringComparer that uses the Turkish culture and ignores
    // case.
    StringComparer^ turkishIgnoreCase =
        StringComparer::Create(turkishCulture, true);

    // Define three strings consisting of different versions of the
    // letter I. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I (U+0049)
    String^ capitalLetterI = "I";

    // LATIN SMALL LETTER I (U+0069)
    String^ smallLetterI = "i";

    // LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I (U+0131)
    String^ smallLetterDotlessI = L"\u0131";

    // Add the three strings to the list.
    stringList->Add(capitalLetterI);
    stringList->Add(smallLetterI);
    stringList->Add(smallLetterDotlessI);

    // Display the original list order.
    Display(stringList, "The original order of the list entries...");

    // Sort the list using the invariant culture.
    stringList->Sort(invariant);
    Display(stringList, "Invariant culture...");
    stringList->Sort(invariantIgnoreCase);
    Display(stringList, "Invariant culture, ignore case...");

    // Sort the list using the current culture.
    Console::WriteLine("The current culture is \"{0}\".",
        currentCulture->Name);
    stringList->Sort(current);
    Display(stringList, "Current culture...");
    stringList->Sort(currentIgnoreCase);
    Display(stringList, "Current culture, ignore case...");

    // Sort the list using the ordinal value of the character code points.
    stringList->Sort(ordinal);
    Display(stringList, "Ordinal...");
    stringList->Sort(ordinalIgnoreCase);
    Display(stringList, "Ordinal, ignore case...");

    // Sort the list using the Turkish culture, which treats LATIN SMALL
    // LETTER DOTLESS I differently than LATIN SMALL LETTER I.
    stringList->Sort(turkishIgnoreCase);
    Display(stringList, "Turkish culture, ignore case...");

Remarks

The StringComparer returned by the CurrentCulture property can be used when strings are linguistically relevant. For example, if strings are displayed to the user, or if strings are the result of user interaction, culture-sensitive string comparison should be used to order the string data.

The current culture is the CultureInfo object associated with the current thread.

The CurrentCulture property actually returns an instance of an anonymous class derived from the StringComparer class.

Each call to the CurrentCulture property get accessor returns a new StringComparer object, as the following code shows.

private void CompareCurrentCultureStringComparer()
{
   StringComparer stringComparer1 = StringComparer.CurrentCulture;
   StringComparer stringComparer2 = StringComparer.CurrentCulture;
   // Displays false
   Console.WriteLine(StringComparer.ReferenceEquals(stringComparer1, 
                                                    stringComparer2));
}
let compareCurrentCultureStringComparer () =
    let stringComparer1 = StringComparer.CurrentCulture
    let stringComparer2 = StringComparer.CurrentCulture
    // Displays false
    printfn $"{StringComparer.ReferenceEquals(stringComparer1, stringComparer2)}"
Private Sub CompareCurrentCultureStringComparers()
   Dim stringComparer1 As StringComparer = StringComparer.CurrentCulture
   Dim stringComparer2 As StringComparer = StringComparer.CurrentCulture
   ' Displays False
   Console.WriteLine(StringComparer.ReferenceEquals(stringComparer1, _
                                                    stringComparer2))
End Sub

To improve performance, you can store the StringComparer object in a local variable rather than retrieve the value of the CurrentCulture property multiple times.
