String.ToLower Method (System) | Microsoft Learn

Source:: String.Manipulation.cs

Source:: String.Manipulation.cs

Source:: String.Manipulation.cs

Source:: String.Manipulation.cs

Returns a copy of this string converted to lowercase, using the casing rules of the specified culture.

public:
 System::String ^ ToLower(System::Globalization::CultureInfo ^ culture);

public string ToLower(System.Globalization.CultureInfo? culture);

public string ToLower(System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture);

member this.ToLower : System.Globalization.CultureInfo -> string

Public Function ToLower (culture As CultureInfo) As String

Parameters

culture: CultureInfo

An object that supplies culture-specific casing rules. If culture is null, the current culture is used.

Returns

The lowercase equivalent of the current string.

Examples

The following example converts two strings of uppercase characters to lowercase characters using the English-United States and Turkish-Turkey cultures, then compares the lowercase strings. The uppercase strings are identical except that for each occurrence of the Unicode LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I in one string, the other string contains LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE.

// Sample for String.ToLower(CultureInfo)

using System;
using System.Globalization;

class Sample
{
    public static void Main()
    {
    String str1 = "INDIGO";
    // str2 = str1, except each 'I' is '\u0130' (Unicode LATIN CAPITAL I WITH DOT ABOVE).
    String str2 = new String(new Char[] {'\u0130', 'N', 'D', '\u0130', 'G', 'O'});
    String str3, str4;

    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("str1 = '{0}'", str1);

         ((0 == String.CompareOrdinal(str1, str2)) ? "equal" : "not equal"));
    CodePoints("str1", str1);
    CodePoints("str2", str2);

    Console.WriteLine();
    // str3 is a lower case copy of str2, using English-United States culture.
    Console.WriteLine("str3 = Lower case copy of str2 using English-United States culture.");
    str3 = str2.ToLower(new CultureInfo("en-US", false));

    // str4 is a lower case copy of str2, using Turkish-Turkey culture.
    Console.WriteLine("str4 = Lower case copy of str2 using Turkish-Turkey culture.");
    str4 = str2.ToLower(new CultureInfo("tr-TR", false));

    // Compare the code points in str3 and str4.
    Console.WriteLine();

Remarks

The casing rules of the culture specified by the culture parameter determine the way the case of the string is changed.

Note

This method does not modify the value of the current instance. Instead, it returns a new string in which all characters in the current instance are converted to lowercase.

If you pass the ToLower(CultureInfo) method a CultureInfo object other than CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, the casing operation will take culture-specific rules into account. If you need the lowercase or uppercase version of an operating system identifier, such as a file name, named pipe, or registry key, use the ToLowerInvariant or ToUpperInvariant method. This produces the same result in every culture and performs more efficiently.
