Where has StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase gone?

Question

I\'m porting C# code to a Windows Store App. To my surprise the following code does not work anymore:

someString.Equals(\"someOtherString\", StringComparison.Inv         


        

Answer 1

Those specific options have not gone anywhere, but they are just not supported by Windows Store Apps.

If you look at MSDN for StringComparison Enumeration you'll see those specific options are not supported by the Portable library or .NET for Windows Store.

The only options that are supported for the Portable Library or Windows Store Apps are:

• CurrentCulture
• CurrentCultureIgnoreCase
• Ordinal
• OrdinalIgnoreCase

I can't speak for why, but there is not an option to "replace" as those values do not exist within the framework. You'll have to work with one of the other options that do exist, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase is probably going to be the easiest to work with.

Answer 2

It looks like it doesn't support Windows Store App.

For Windows Store App, only avaiable you can use with green bag enumerations;

For general idea, people used OrdinalIgnoreCase in this case.
