Hi,
is there any other way to remove diacritics in .NET, than

StringBuilder normalized = new
StringBuilder("aáůř".Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD));
for (int i = 0; i < normalized.Length; i++)
if (char.GetUnicodeCategory(normalized[i]) ==
UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark)
{
normalized.Remove(i, 1);
i--;
}

?

Jan

Well, get the improved code from here:

and note that I point out the semantic flaw here:

After I finish the current series on sort keys I'll be posting some solution
ideas to the problem raised there.

There is no other way in the framework though, sorry.

Hmm... I should begin to count with that every question I ask, you have
already answered. That way I maybe won't feel so reckless. :-)
And thanks, not only for your patience. :)

Pity there is no "ignore diacritics" flag in RegularExpression settings.

Looking forward to your post, and enjoying the sort keys series!
