Linq contains confusion
c#, linq
Solution
This is because there's no `String.Contains(string, StringComparison)` method defined in the BCL and the compiler tries to use an extension method. There's only String.Contains(string) method defined.
Problem
I have noticed something odd with linq and the Contains method. It seems to get confused on which Contains method to call. ``` if (myString.Contains(strVar, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) { // Code here } ``` The above code doesn't compile with the following error: The type arguments for method 'System.Linq.Enumerable.Contains(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable, TSource, System.Collections.Generic.IEqualityComparer)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly. If I remove the using linq statement it is happy with the contains (but brakes all the linq code). What is the correct syntax to tell the compiler I want to use the String.Contains method and not Linqs? Cheers
