As far as I've been able to tell, you can't create a CompareInfo that causes diacritics to be ignored on comparison (which means you can't create a CultureInfo to do the same). You can create something that will sort as if diacritics weren't there...
As far as I can tell the only way to compare two strings so that letters with different accents are equal is to compare without nonspacing characters. This can be done with CompareInfo.Compare using CompareOptions.IgnoreNonSpace. But, I haven't seen anything where the CompareOptions can be set for a CompareInfo object (other than CompareInfo.None, which is uses by default if you call Compare without CompareOptions). Without that, I can't see how you can write an expression for DataTable.Select that would do a ignore-nonspacing-characters comparision. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
