Compare text non-case sensitive

[Sasi Rekha]

Hi I have Chennai in a textbox and CHENnai in my drop down. When i try to compare those two they are not matching. Is drop down values case sensitive? If so how can i make the drop down list values as case insensitive?

Please respond to this query ASAP.

Thanks.

Chennai and CHENnai are not same.....thats why they dont match.....whats wrong in it...??

convert those to letters to Uppercase or Lowercase and then compare......
Use ToLower() or ToUpper() method of String class for that.....

are you using the Equals method of the string class?
see its overloaded methods

you can try something like this which will be true

[CODE=cpp]string s = "hello";
s.Equals("Hello ", StringCompariso n.OrdinalIgnore Case);[/CODE]
