Definition

Converts the specified character or string to lowercase.

Overloads

ToLower(Char)

Converts the specified character to lowercase.

ToLower(String)

Converts the specified string to lowercase.

Examples

The following code example changes the casing of a string based on the English (United States) culture, with the culture name en-US.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Defines the String* with mixed casing.
   String^ myString = "wAr aNd pEaCe";
   
   // Creates a TextInfo based on the S"en-US" culture.
   CultureInfo^ MyCI = gcnew CultureInfo( "en-US",false );
   TextInfo^ myTI = MyCI->TextInfo;
   
   // Changes a String* to lowercase.
   Console::WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to lowercase: {1}", myString, myTI->ToLower( myString ) );
   
   // Changes a String* to uppercase.
   Console::WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to uppercase: {1}", myString, myTI->ToUpper( myString ) );
   
   // Changes a String* to titlecase.
   Console::WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to titlecase: {1}", myString, myTI->ToTitleCase( myString ) );
}

/*
This code produces the following output.

S"wAr aNd pEaCe" to lowercase: war and peace
S"wAr aNd pEaCe" to uppercase: WAR AND PEACE
S"wAr aNd pEaCe" to titlecase: War And Peace

ToLower(Char)

Source:
TextInfo.cs
Source:
TextInfo.cs
Source:
TextInfo.cs

Converts the specified character to lowercase.

public:
 virtual char ToLower(char c);
public:
 char ToLower(char c);
public virtual char ToLower (char c);
public char ToLower (char c);
abstract member ToLower : char -> char
override this.ToLower : char -> char
member this.ToLower : char -> char
Public Overridable Function ToLower (c As Char) As Char
Public Function ToLower (c As Char) As Char

Parameters

c
Char

The character to convert to lowercase.

Returns

The specified character converted to lowercase.

Remarks

Casing semantics depend on the culture in use. For the invariant culture, the casing semantics are not culture-sensitive. For a specific culture, the casing semantics are sensitive to that culture.

If a security decision depends on a string comparison or a case-change operation, the application should use the InvariantCulture to ensure that the behavior is consistent regardless of the culture settings of the system. However, the invariant culture must be used only by processes that require culture-independent results, such as system services. Otherwise, it produces results that might be linguistically incorrect or culturally inappropriate.

For more information on cultures, see CultureInfo.

Parameters

str
String

The string to convert to lowercase.

Returns

The specified string converted to lowercase.

Exceptions

str is null.

Remarks

The returned string might differ in length from the input string. For more information on casing, refer to the Unicode Technical Report #21 "Case Mappings," published by the Unicode Consortium. The current implementation preserves the length of the string. However, this behavior is not guaranteed and could change in future implementations.
