Comparing strings in different encodings

I have some code that makes requests and compares with expected values. But I have problem comparing the string from the website with the string in the code. My unit test code says:

Assert.AreEqual failed.
Expected: <DEVOLUÇÃO DE VALORES>.
Actual:   <DEVOLUÇÃO DE VALORES>.

What can I do to compare the values regadless of the character encoding?

I just needed to use Normalize method:

Assert.AreEqual(expected.Normalize(), actual.Normalize());

Note taht Normalize allows you to provide the normalization form. If you do it, you have to use the same form in both strings.

Ignore the culture information and do the comparison. Use String.ToUpperInvariant() for the strings and compare it.
