Is there a function or a way to only make the first letter of a word cap?

Like:

CODE or code (becomes) Code;

I would say whatever string you have, split it into two strings, the first letter being one string, and the rest of the word being the second string, then use the toupper and tolower functions on each of them to get the desired case, then put the string back together in one string.

string myString
string 1 = myString.firstletter
string 2 = myString.therest
1.toupper
2.tolower
myString = 1 + 2

Not too hard and basically just what hooser said.

  string upper = textBox1.Text.Substring(0,1).ToUpper();

  string lower = textBox1.Text.Substring(1).ToLower();


  string complete = String.Concat(upper, lower);

Replace textbox.text with your own string.

Or, you could use the (ghast!) Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.StrConv function with VbStrConv.ProperCase. That'll capitalize every word in your string.

As Billy Hollis says, it was very nice of the VB community to let us use their new framework from other languages.

I didnt know one could use VB functions in C# code... Thanks for the post brackett

Hey, that is pretty cool. I didn't even know VB had a function that did this to start with. haha, I guess you have to know all the functions in .NET - but how do you go about learning them???
