Replace a string but ignore the case, I keep forgetting about this little handy function

Heres an example of usage

'Import the library you need to use
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
'set up some vars here to play with
Dim TheString As String = "fint THAT String I need to change"
Dim ReplaceText As String = "the"
Dim TheResultsString As String

'INSTEAD OF THIS
TheResultsString = TheString.Replace("THAT", ReplaceText)
'DO THIS
TheResultsString = Regex.Replace(TheString, "that", ReplaceText, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)

'Import the library you need to use

Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions

'set up some vars here to play with

Dim TheString As String = "fint THAT String I need to change"

Dim ReplaceText As String = "the"

Dim TheResultsString As String

'INSTEAD OF THIS

TheResultsString = TheString.Replace("THAT", ReplaceText)

'DO THIS

TheResultsString = Regex.Replace(TheString, "that", ReplaceText, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
