I am getting a value from a textbox and checking its in a dropdown list then
displaying it with taht position in the list selected

All is well but it is case sensitve.

Is there a work round to make it ignore case? ie if category="Front porch"
and the user typed Front Porch or front porch

e.g. DropDownList1.SelectedValue =
DropDownList1.Items.FindByText(category).Value

foreach (ListItem li in DropDownList1.Items)
{
if (li.Text.ToUpper() == category.ToUpper())
{
li.Selected = true;
break;
}
}
