How can I do a case insensitive string comparison?

by

This is not the best practice in .NET framework (4 & +) to check equality 

String.Compare(x.Username, (string)drUser["Username"], 
                  StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0

Use the following instead

String.Equals(x.Username, (string)drUser["Username"], 
                   StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

MSDN recommends:

  • Use an overload of the String.Equals method to test whether two strings are equal.
  • Use the String.Compare and String.CompareTo methods to sort strings, not to check for equality.
