Note also that some string methods have overloads for taking specific cultures, or the StringComparison enum. Both StringComparison.Ordinal and StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase (as well as StringComparer) can be very useful to improve performance when culture-dependent behaviour is not needed or desirable. Culture-dependent string comparisons are a very complex topic. There's also an "invariant" culture for doing things in a culture-independent way. -- Michael Hutchinson http://mjhutchinson.com _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
