Hi I have the following code

Public Function GetFieldWrapper(ByVal entity As EntityClasses.CommonEntityBase, ByVal fieldName As String) As EntityField2 Return CType(entity.Fields(fieldName), EntityField2) End Function

This works fine however the fieldname appears to be case sensiitive.

Is there a way around this i.e. so it works even if the cases dont match?

Thanks

You should create a dictionary containing the fieldnames lowercased as KEY and the corresponding field as the VALUE. Then you can access the dictionary with you lowercased string parameter.

Thanks for that however i'm sorry but i dont fully understand?

Do you have any working examples demonstrating this?

Somwhere in the entity initialisation routine - sorry C#, I don't do VB past version 6!

Dictionary <string,EntityField2> lowercaseFieldNames = new Dictionary <string,EntityField2>();
foreach (EntityField2 field in entity.Fields)
{
    lowercaseFieldNames.Add(field.Name.ToLower(),field);
}

In your function

    return lowercaseFieldNames[fieldname.ToLower()];

If using .Net 3.5 just do it with LINQ (so you don't need the dictionary)

In your function

   return entity.Fields.Single(x=>x.Name.ToLower() == fieldName.ToLower());
