Why should I convert a string to upper case when comparing?
<p>I constantly read about it being a good practise to convert a string to upper case (I think Hanselman mentioned this on his blog a long time ago), when that string is to be compared against another (which should also be converted to upper case).</p>

<p>What is the benefit of this? Why should I do this (or are there any cases when I shouldn't)?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
