The System.String
class supports a number of methods to convert between uppercase and lowercase characters in a string.
System.String.ToLowerInvariant
is used to return a String object converted to lowercase.System.String.ToUpperInvariant
is used to return a String object converted to uppercase.Note: The reason to use the invariant versions of these methods is to prevent producing unexpected culture-specific letters. This is explained here in detail.
Example:
string s = "My String";
s = s.ToLowerInvariant(); // "my string"
s = s.ToUpperInvariant(); // "MY STRING"
Note that you can choose to specify a specific Culture when converting to lowercase and uppercase by using the String.ToLower(CultureInfo) and String.ToUpper(CultureInfo) methods accordingly.
