Question

Are there any built-in functions in .Net that allow to capitalize strings, or handling proper casing? I know there are some somewhere in the Microsoft.VB namespace, but I want to avoid those if possible.

I’m aware of functions like string.ToUpper and string.ToLower() functions however it affects the entire string. I am looking to something like this:

var myString = 'micah'; myString = myString.Format(FormattingOptions.Capitalize) //Micah

Just to throw another option into the mix. This will capitalize every word in the given string:

public static string ToTitleCase(string inputString)  {     System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureInfo =    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;    System.Globalization.TextInfo textInfo = cultureInfo.TextInfo;    return textInfo.ToTitleCase(inputString.ToLower());  }
