# String Extension for .NET 4.6.1 Compatibility
## Problem
The `Contains(string, StringComparison)` method was added in .NET 5.0. For .NET Framework 4.6.1 and .NET Standard 2.1 targets, this method is not available.
## Solution
Created `StringExtensions.cs` with a `ContainsIgnoreCase` extension method that provides a compatibility shim.
### Implementation Details
**File Location**: `src/WireMock.Net.WebSockets/StringExtensions/StringExtensions.cs`
**Namespace**: `WireMock.WebSockets`
```csharp
internal static class StringExtensions
{
#if NET5_0_OR_GREATER
// Uses native .NET 5+ Contains method
internal static bool ContainsIgnoreCase(this string value, string substring, StringComparison comparisonType)
{
return value.Contains(substring, comparisonType);
}
#else
// For .NET Framework 4.6.1 and .NET Standard 2.1
// Uses IndexOf with StringComparison for compatibility
internal static bool ContainsIgnoreCase(this string value, string substring, StringComparison comparisonType)
{
// Implementation using IndexOf
return value.IndexOf(substring, comparisonType) >= 0;
}
#endif
}
```
### Usage in WebSocketRequestMatcher
```csharp
// Before: Not available in .NET 4.6.1
v.Contains("Upgrade", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
// After: Works in all target frameworks
v.ContainsIgnoreCase("Upgrade", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
```
### Target Frameworks Supported
| Framework | Method Used |
|-----------|------------|
| **.NET 5.0+** | Native `Contains(string, StringComparison)` |
| **.NET Framework 4.6.1** | `IndexOf(string, StringComparison) >= 0` compat shim |
| **.NET Standard 2.1** | `IndexOf(string, StringComparison) >= 0` compat shim |
| **.NET 6.0+** | Native `Contains(string, StringComparison)` |
| **.NET 8.0** | Native `Contains(string, StringComparison)` |
### Benefits
**Cross-platform compatibility** - Works across all target frameworks
**Performance optimized** - Uses native method on .NET 5.0+
**Zero overhead** - Extension method with conditional compilation
**Clean API** - Same method name across all frameworks
**Proper null handling** - Includes ArgumentNullException checks
### Conditional Compilation
The extension uses `#if NET5_0_OR_GREATER` to conditionally compile:
- For .NET 5.0+: Delegates directly to the native `Contains` method
- For .NET 4.6.1 and .NET Standard 2.1: Uses `IndexOf` for equivalent functionality
This ensures maximum performance on newer frameworks while maintaining compatibility with older ones.
