Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Indicates whether this string is in a particular Unicode normalization form.

Overloads

IsNormalized(NormalizationForm)	Indicates whether this string is in the specified Unicode normalization form.
IsNormalized()	Indicates whether this string is in Unicode normalization form C.

Examples

The following example determines whether a string is successfully normalized to various normalization forms.

IsNormalized(NormalizationForm)

Source:: String.cs

Source:: String.cs

Source:: String.cs

Indicates whether this string is in the specified Unicode normalization form.

public:
 bool IsNormalized(System::Text::NormalizationForm normalizationForm);

public bool IsNormalized (System.Text.NormalizationForm normalizationForm);

member this.IsNormalized : System.Text.NormalizationForm -> bool

Public Function IsNormalized (normalizationForm As NormalizationForm) As Boolean

Parameters

normalizationForm: NormalizationForm

A Unicode normalization form.

Returns

Boolean

true if this string is in the normalization form specified by the normalizationForm parameter; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The current instance contains invalid Unicode characters.

Remarks

Some Unicode characters have multiple equivalent binary representations consisting of sets of combining and/or composite Unicode characters. The existence of multiple representations for a single character complicates searching, sorting, matching, and other operations.

The Unicode standard defines a process called normalization that returns one binary representation when given any of the equivalent binary representations of a character. Normalization can be performed with several algorithms, called normalization forms, that obey different rules. .NET currently supports normalization forms C, D, KC, and KD.

For a description of supported Unicode normalization forms, see System.Text.NormalizationForm.

Notes to Callers

The IsNormalized method returns false as soon as it encounters the first non-normalized character in a string. Therefore, if a string contains non-normalized characters followed by invalid Unicode characters, the Normalize method will throw an ArgumentException although IsNormalized returns false.
