Choosing a string comparison method is simple!

In a lot of projects different users use different string comparison methods. I’ve seen a lot of code where there is a lot of ToLowers(), Equals, equality == operators, string.compare, string.CompareTo, and so on used for comparing strings. All different usages, sometimes for different purposes, but 99% of the time for the same purpose. Since .NET 2.0 however, Microsoft has new recommendations, and I think it is really a must to read. A link to the new Microsoft recommendations can be found at the end of this article.
