Char.ToLowerInvariant(Char) Method

Definition

Converts the value of a Unicode character to its lowercase equivalent using the casing rules of the invariant culture.

public:
 static char ToLowerInvariant(char c);
public static char ToLowerInvariant (char c);
static member ToLowerInvariant : char -> char
Public Shared Function ToLowerInvariant (c As Char) As Char

Parameters

c
Char

The Unicode character to convert.

Returns

The lowercase equivalent of the c parameter, or the unchanged value of c, if c is already lowercase or not alphabetic.

Remarks

If your application is unaffected by the current culture and depends on the case of a character changing in a predictable way, then use the ToLowerInvariant method. The ToLowerInvariant method is equivalent to ToLower(Char, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).

Use String.ToLowerInvariant to convert a string to lowercase.
