您要查找的内容称为 编辑距离 或
Levenshtein距离
。维基百科文章解释了它是如何计算的，并且在底部有一段不错的伪代码，可帮助您非常轻松地用C＃编写此算法。

这是第一个链接在下面的站点的实现：

private static int  CalcLevenshteinDistance(string a, string b)
    {
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(a) && String.IsNullOrEmpty(b)) {
        return 0;
    }
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(a)) {
        return b.Length;
    }
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(b)) {
        return a.Length;
    }
    int  lengthA   = a.Length;
    int  lengthB   = b.Length;
    var  distances = new int[lengthA + 1, lengthB + 1];
    for (int i = 0;  i <= lengthA;  distances[i, 0] = i++);
    for (int j = 0;  j <= lengthB;  distances[0, j] = j++);

    for (int i = 1;  i <= lengthA;  i++)
        for (int j = 1;  j <= lengthB;  j++)
            {
            int  cost = b[j - 1] == a[i - 1] ? 0 : 1;
            distances[i, j] = Math.Min
                (
                Math.Min(distances[i - 1, j] + 1, distances[i, j - 1] + 1),
                distances[i - 1, j - 1] + cost
                );
            }
    return distances[lengthA, lengthB];
    }
