How to compare strings with case insensitive and accent insensitive

问题

Alright this is done easily at SQL server

However I would like to do the same at C# .NET 4.5.1.

How can I do that with most proper way?

I mean these 3 strings should return equal when compared

I need a method that would say these 2 below are same SQL server says they are equal.

 tarafli 
 TARAFLİ

To ignore both case AND accents, you can use string.Compare() with both the IgnoreNonSpace AND the IgnoreCase options, like so:

string s1 = "http://www.buroteknik.com/metylan-c387c4b0ft-tarafli-bant-12cm-x25mt_154202.html";
string s2 = "http://www.buroteknik.com/METYLAN-C387C4B0FT-TARAFLI-BANT-12cm-x25mt_154202.html";
string s3 = "http://www.buroteknik.com/METYLAN-C387C4B0FT-TARAFLı-BANT-12cm-x25mt_154202.html";

Console.WriteLine(string.Compare(s1, s2, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace | CompareOptions.IgnoreCase));
Console.WriteLine(string.Compare(s2, s3, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace | CompareOptions.IgnoreCase));

In response to your comments below, this works for tarafli and TARAFLİ too.

The following code prints 0, meaning the strings are equal:

string s1 = "tarafli";
string s2 = "TARAFLİ";
Console.WriteLine(string.Compare(s1, s2, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace | CompareOptions.IgnoreCase));

And here it is using the Turkish culture (I'm guessing at what the correct culture is). This also prints 0:

string s1 = "tarafli";
string s2 = "TARAFLİ";

var trlocale = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("tr-TR");
Console.WriteLine(string.Compare(s1, s2, trlocale, CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace | CompareOptions.IgnoreCase));

回答2:

You can use string.Compare with the overload which takes the proper CultureInfo and CompareOptions:

string.Compare(s1, s2, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace |
                                                   CompareOptions.IgnoreCase);

Edit:

As for your question on CultureInfo, from MSDN:

The comparison uses the culture parameter to obtain culture-specific information, such as casing rules and the alphabetical order of individual characters. For example, a particular culture could specify that certain combinations of characters be treated as a single character, that uppercase and lowercase characters be compared in a particular way, or that the sort order of a character depends on the characters that precede or follow it.
