String.ToUpper

[Kerri]

Hi,

I have a string 'hello world'

I can UCase my string using String.ToUpper

Is there anyway to just UCase the first letter ofe ach
word?

Thanks,
Keeri.

Re: String.ToUpper

Kerri,

The String object does not contain a method for converting a string to
title/proper case. You can, however, use the ToTitleCase method of the
TextInfo object. See the following links for details:

HTH,
Nicole

Re: String.ToUpper

How can you override ToUpper()? The class is sealed.

Uh-oh, you spelled your name wrong. How about something like this:

Use ----> VbStrConv.Prope rCase

Dim strName As String = txbModUser.Text
strName = StrConv(strName , VbStrConv.Prope rCase)
txbModUser.Text = strName

Re: String.ToUpper

Hmmm....the ToTitleCase method of the TextInfo object works like someone
else suggested here.

Or you could use regular expressions with a delegate function as in the code
below. I think the TotitleCase method would be much faster for iterative
operations...ma ybe :-)

Private Sub Button2_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button2.Click

Dim MyReg As New System.Text.Reg ularExpressions .Regex("\b\w*\b ",
System.Text.Reg ularExpressions .RegexOptions.I gnoreCase)

Me.TextBox1.Tex t = MyReg.Replace(M e.TextBox1.Text , AddressOf Capitalize)

End Sub

Private Function Capitalize(ByVa l m As System.Text.Reg ularExpressions .Match)
As String

If m.Value.Length > 1 Then

Capitalize = m.Value.Substri ng(0, 1).ToUpper & m.Value.Substri ng(1)

Else

Capitalize = m.Value.ToUpper

End If

End Function
