Performing Culture-Insensitive String Operations 

Most .NET Framework methods that perform culture-sensitive string operations by default provide method overloads that allow you to explicitly specify the culture to use by passing a CultureInfo parameter. These overloads allow you to eliminate cultural variations in case mappings and sorting rules and guarantee culture-insensitive results by specifying the CultureInfo.InvariantCulture property for the CultureInfo parameter.

This section provides the following topics to demonstrate how to perform culture-insensitive string operations using .NET Framework methods that are culture-sensitive by default.
