StringComparison.InvariantCulture

 for the 

how

 parameter in which case all 

cultural differences are avoided. This approach is demonstrated by the following program:

// Compare strings using StringComparison enumeration.

using System;

class StrCompDemo {

  static void Main() {

    // Note: Never embed a password in real code.

    // This is for demonstration purposes only.

    string pswd = "we~23&blx$";

    string str;

    Console.WriteLine("Enter password: ");

    str = Console.ReadLine();

    // Compare using invariant culture.

    if(String.Compare(pswd, str,

                      StringComparison.InvariantCulture) == 0)

      Console.WriteLine("Password accepted.");

    else

      Console.WriteLine("Password invalid.");

  }

}
