### Description

Gets or sets a value of type [IgnoreCaseSettings](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-proofing/txspell-ignorecasesettings/enumeration/llms-full.txt) determining if and how the case of a word is ignored while [spell checking](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-proofing/txspellchecker/check-method/llms-full.txt). The default value is `AllUpper | WordBeginUpper`.

### Syntax

```csharp
public TXSpell.IgnoreCaseSettings IgnoreCase { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property IgnoreCase As TXSpell.IgnoreCaseSettings
```

### Examples

The following example uses `TXSpellChecker.IgnoreCase` to configure ignore case as part of the txspell checker workflow. The configured value is checked before the workflow continues.

```csharp
tXSpellChecker.IgnoreCase = TXTextControl.Proofing.TXSpell.IgnoreCaseSettings.AllLower;
Console.WriteLine($"Ignore Case used by TXSpell Checker: {tXSpellChecker.IgnoreCase}");
```

```vbnet
tXSpellChecker.IgnoreCase = TXTextControl.Proofing.TXSpell.IgnoreCaseSettings.AllLower
Console.WriteLine($"Ignore Case used by TXSpell Checker: {tXSpellChecker.IgnoreCase}")
```

### Remarks

The `IgnoreCaseSettings` enumeration values `Always`, `Never`, `WordBegin` and `WordBeginUpper` must not be combined among one another, but can be combined with `AllLower` and/or `AllUpper`.

For all other combinations an exception is thrown.
