Try this code: public bool checkCity(string strInput1 string strInput2) { strInput1 = strInput1.ToLower(); strInput2 = strInput2.ToLower(); // Take the first 3 chars of input2 & input 1 and compare return (strInput2.Substring(0 3) == strInput1.Substring(0 3)); } Even Simpler: public bool checkCity(string strInput1 string strInput2) { return (strInput2.ToLower().Substring(0 3) == strInput1.ToLower().Substring(0 3)); } Hope this helps!
