converting to proper case

[ToddT]

i'm trying to convert names to their proper case (e.g. "todd" ->
"Todd") using the following rountine:

Private Function ConvertToProper Case(ByVal stringValue As String)
As String
Dim ci As New
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo("en-US", False)
Dim properCaseValue As String

properCaseValue = stringValue.Rep lace("'", "' ")
properCaseValue = ci.TextInfo.ToT itleCase(proper CaseValue)
properCaseValue = properCaseValue .Replace("' ", "'")

Return properCaseValue
End Function ' ConvertToProper Case()


it works fine except when the name i pass in is all in upper case (it
remains in upper case). anybody know why or what i am doing wrong? thx
in advance.

RE: converting to proper case

Because you need to drop it all to lowercase firs

mystring.ToLowe r()

Then it should work.

Re: converting to proper case

yes, this works. thx.

every other combination of upper case and lower case letters gets
converted correctly. how illogical...
