There is no case independent comparison in the STL string class. Neither is
strnicmp or any other similar function part of standard C++.

If you want to do case independent comparison you will have to do it
yourself. You could use the character functions toupper and tolower for this
purpose.

I wish to execute code from a string. The string will have a function name, which will return a string: Dim a as string a = "MyFunctionName(param1, param2)" I have seen a ton of people discuss how reflection does this, but I cannot find the syntax to do this. I have tried several code example off of gotdotnet and other articles. Can somebody please show me the code to do this?

I imagine this subject has probably been brought up numerous times. Forgive me for bringing it up again. I was googling through old posts on this newsgroup about it and found a good suggestion on how to add functionality to the string class. Rather than trying to inherit from the string class, the author was suggesting wrapping the string class in another class, like so: >Right !!!, we should not derive from string, but we should wrap...

I have a question about buffer overflows with strcmp or strncmp (strnicmp). It's best described by providing an example Example: There is a string "sBuf" of length 5000. In a for loop from 0 to 5000, several NUL terminated strings are compared, these strings vary in size from 3 to 9. sBuf is user input (a file), memory is dynamically allocated using malloc (file length+1) and it is properly nul terminated.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
