How to make C# Switch Statement use IgnoreCase

Question

If I have a switch-case statement where the object in the switch is string, is it possible to do an ignoreCase compare?

I have for instance:

string s =

An extension to the answer by @STLDeveloperA. A new way to do statement evaluation without multiple if statements as of c# 7 is using the pattern matching Switch statement, similar to the way @STLDeveloper though this way is switching on the variable being switched

string houseName = "house";  // value to be tested
string s;
switch (houseName)
{
    case var name when string.Equals(name, "Bungalow", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase): 
        s = "Single glazed";
    break;

    case var name when string.Equals(name, "Church", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase):
        s = "Stained glass";
        break;
        ...
    default:
        s = "No windows (cold or dark)";
        break;
}

The visual studio magazine has a nice article on pattern matching case blocks that might be worth a look.
