RHINOCOMMON - Group Name Retrieved Form Document Case Sensitive?

It appears that when retrieving a string representing a group name from an active rhino document using RhinoCommon, the case of the string is ALWAYS uppercase.

For instance, when I assign a group called test, when I try and retrieve objects contained in that group, the name returned by the grouptable function is ALWAYS uppercase. Hence I get an error as I am expecting test to be returned and not TEST

Is this correct?

For example;

Dim rcRhinoGroupTable As Rhino.DocObjects.Tables.GroupTable

rcRhinoGroupTable = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Groups

dim strGroupName as string = rcRhinoGroupTable.GroupName(0)

strGroupName is always in an UPPERCASE format

thanks

If I run the following code in a VB script, I get a properly cased groupname:

A = doc.Groups.GroupName(0)

Can you repeat that?
