Case insensitive Regex without using RegexOptions enumeration

Question

Is it possible to do a case insensitive match in C# using the Regex class without setting the RegexOptions.IgnoreCase flag?

As you already found out, (?i) is the in-line equivalent of RegexOptions.IgnoreCase.

Just FYI, there are a few tricks you can do with it:

Regex:
    a(?i)bc
Matches:
    a       # match the character 'a'
    (?i)    # enable case insensitive matching
    b       # match the character 'b' or 'B'
    c       # match the character 'c' or 'C'

Regex:
    a(?i)b(?-i)c
Matches:
    a        # match the character 'a'
    (?i)     # enable case insensitive matching
    b        # match the character 'b' or 'B'
    (?-i)    # disable case insensitive matching
    c        # match the character 'c'

Regex:    
    a(?i:b)c
Matches:
    a       # match the character 'a'
    (?i:    # start non-capture group 1 and enable case insensitive matching
      b     #   match the character 'b' or 'B'
    )       # end non-capture group 1
    c       # match the character 'c'

And you can even combine flags like this: a(?mi-s)bc meaning:

a          # match the character 'a'
(?mi-s)    # enable multi-line option, case insensitive matching and disable dot-all option
b          # match the character 'b' or 'B'
c          # match the character 'c' or 'C'
