String compare with special characters in C#

Question

I have two strings "CZSczs" - "ČŽŠčžš" and I want to return true when I compare the strings. I tried with string comparison but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

You can use

int result string.Compare("CZSczs", "ČŽŠčžš", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace); 
bool equal = result == 0;

As pointed out in this question's accepted answer.

Answer 2

You need to specify the culture :

using System;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string string1 = "CZSczs";
        string string2 = "ČŽŠčžš";

        if(String.Compare(string1, string2, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace) == 0)
        {
        Console.WriteLine("same");
        }
        else
        {
        Console.WriteLine("not same");
        }

    }
}
