Returns a copy of this String object converted to lowercase using the casing rules of the invariant culture.
public:
System::String ^ ToLowerInvariant();
public string ToLowerInvariant();
member this.ToLowerInvariant : unit -> string
Public Function ToLowerInvariant () As String
Returns
The lowercase equivalent of the current string.
ExamplesThe following example defines a string array that contains a single word in a number of languages. The ToLowerInvariant method is used to populate the elements of a parallel array with the case-insensitive version of each word. The Array.Sort<TKey,TValue>(TKey[], TValue[], IComparer<TKey>) method is used to sort the case-sensitive array based on the order of elements in the lowercase array to ensure that elements appear in the same order regardless of language.

public static void Main()
{
string[] words = { "Tuesday", "Salı", "ÐÑоÑник", "Mardi",
"ΤÏίÏη", "Martes", "××× ×©××ש×",
"Ø§ÙØ«Ùاثاء", "วัà¸à¸à¸±à¸à¸à¸²à¸£" };
// Display array in unsorted order.
foreach (string word in words)
Console.WriteLine(word);

// Create parallel array of words by calling ToLowerInvariant.
string[] lowerWords = new string[words.Length];
for (int ctr = words.GetLowerBound(0); ctr <= words.GetUpperBound(0); ctr++)
lowerWords[ctr] = words[ctr].ToLowerInvariant();
// Sort the words array based on the order of lowerWords.
Array.Sort(lowerWords, words, StringComparer.InvariantCulture);
// Display the sorted array.

Remarks
The invariant culture represents a culture that is culture-insensitive. It is associated with the English language but not with a specific country or region. For more information, see the CultureInfo.InvariantCulture property.
If your application depends on the case of a string changing in a predictable way that is unaffected by the current culture, use the ToLowerInvariant method. The ToLowerInvariant method is equivalent to ToLower(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
. The method is recommended when a collection of strings must appear in a predictable order in a user interface control.
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 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 methods.
