Case insensitive XPath

XPath statements are case sensitive. To get around this use the following example to convert all data to lower case before performing the equality check:

/bookstore/book[translate(@category, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') = '" + searchtext.ToLower() + "']

Thanks very much to Harish for this!

Hi,

I am getting an XPAth expression an an input from a text box as a string and then using the string to make an XPAth search. How can I use this tranlate func() there to make my search case insensitive. I am working in C# .Net.
