I agree.

Jamie...your code:
VB Code:
  1. Dim strText As String = "blah <sOmEtAg>blah></someTAg> blah <sOmEtAg>blah></someTAg> blah <sOmEtAg>blah></someTAg> "
  2.         Dim strArr() As String = Split(strText, "<")
  3.         Dim i As Integer
  4.         For i = 0 To UBound(strArr)
  5.             strArr(i) = LCase(strArr(i))
  6.         Next
  7.         MsgBox(Join(strArr, "<"))
does exactly the same thing as:
VB Code:
  1. Dim strText As String = "blah <sOmEtAg>blah></someTAg> blah <sOmEtAg>blah></someTAg> blah <sOmEtAg>blah></someTAg> "
  2.         strText = strText.ToLower
Since this is .NET u shouldn't use LCase...
