Question

I want to change the first letters of full name inserted into the textbox;

for if user inputs: "subash neupane" after conversion it should be "Subash Neupane"

for this.

I had used the uppercase conversion string function

public string change(string str1)
       {
           return char.ToUpper(str1[0]) + str1.Substring(1);
       }

can give some hints how to change for the lastname too?

Have you checked this?

You can use ToTitleCase() method like following

string titleCaseString = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en").TextInfo.ToTitleCase("subash neupane");

i had no idea about culture info!!
thanks all.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 5-Jul-11 0:51am

Yes, the importance of it is this: ToLower or ToUpper case operations are not culture-neutral, as in some languages/cultures there are more complex rules of capitalization -- hence the CultureInfo. For the culture "en" it makes no sense, but this is just for example, there should not be an immediate string constant here.

Wait a minute... I think "new" is lost, must be "new CultureInfo("en").
Prakash, please fix it.
