C# .ToLower()

The .ToLower() method is a string method in C# that returns a new string in which all the characters are converted to lowercase.

The method does not modify the original string, but rather returns a new one. This method is helpful in normalizing user input or comparing strings in a case-insensitive manner.

Syntax

myString.ToLower();

myString is the string being converted to lowercase.

Example

In the following example, the .ToLower() method is called on a string originalString, and is printed to the console:

using System;

string originalString = "HELLO WORLD";

Console.WriteLine(originalString.ToLower()); // Output: "hello world"
