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 =         


        

Answer 1

One possible way would be to use an ignore case dictionary with an action delegate.

string s = null;
var dic = new Dictionary(StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
{
    {"house",  () => s = "window"},
    {"house2", () => s = "window2"}
};

dic["HouSe"]();

// Note that the call doesn't return text, but only populates local variable s.
// If you want to return the actual text, replace Action to Func and values in dictionary to something like () => "window2"
