Case-Insensitive List Search

by

I realise this is an old post, but just in case anyone else is looking, you can use Contains by providing the case insensitive string equality comparer like so:

using System.Linq;

// ...

if (testList.Contains(keyword, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Keyword Exists");
}

This has been available since .net 2.0 according to msdn.
