C# string comparison ignoring spaces, carriage return or line breaks

Question

How can I compare 2 strings in C# ignoring the case, spaces and any line-breaks. I also need to check if both strings are null then they are marked as same.

Thanks!<

Answer 1

This may also work.

String.Compare(s1, s2, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, CompareOptions.IgnoreCase | CompareOptions.IgnoreSymbols) == 0

Edit:

IgnoreSymbols: Indicates that the string comparison must ignore symbols, such as white-space characters, punctuation, currency symbols, the percent sign, mathematical symbols, the ampersand, and so on.
