How can I do a case insensitive string comparison?

by

How can I make the line below case insensitive?

drUser["Enrolled"] = 
      (enrolledUsers.FindIndex(x => x.Username == (string)drUser["Username"]) != -1);

I was given some advice earlier today that suggested I use: 

x.Username.Equals((string)drUser["Username"], StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)));

the trouble is I can’t get this to work, I’ve tried the line below, this compiles but returns the wrong results, it returns enrolled users as unenrolled and unenrolled users as enrolled.

drUser["Enrolled"] = 
      (enrolledUsers.FindIndex(x => x.Username.Equals((string)drUser["Username"], 
                                 StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)));

Can anyone point out the problem?
