XElement.Descendants () makes case insensitive

Question

The XElement.Descendants () method accepts the name of the element found.

But it is case sensitive, is there any way to make it case insensitive

Answer 1

You can use this:

element.Descendants() .Where(x => string.Compare(x.Name, filter, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0); 

Answer 2

This method worked for me ..

 XElement selectedElement = doc.Descendants().Where(x => String.Equals((string)x.Attribute("name"), filtertext, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault();
