foreign character comparison problem

[Jimi2Cool]

OK. i have a method that looks through a list of strings to find matches to user input. for instance the list contains these 2 entries

As, Aš

if i user types As id like to grab both entries.

I've been trying things with string.Compair to ignore culture and what not but no matter what i do i cant seem to tell .net i want it to treat these the same. is there a way to do this? or is there a way i can convert Aš to As before i compaire?

hmm, well, i think i found the solution that works in my case.

something like this works the way i need it

---------------------------------------
static System.Globalization.CompareInfo compareinf = System.Globalization.CompareInfo.GetCompareInfo("en-us");

string s = compareto.SubString(0,startwith.Length);

if (compareinf.Compare(s, startswith, System.Globalization.CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace | System.Globalization.CompareOptions.IgnoreCase) == 0)
{
//do something
}
-------------------------------

Apparently the System.Globalization.CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace flag is needed in my case.
