*sigh* I hate it when this happens. You have no idea how many times I've written the two lines of code necessary to do exactly this. Thanks Thea!

Hey,
Kyk waar kom ek uit.
Thanks thea!

i found that not to be too reliable, i prefer using regular expressions.

Regex r = new Regex(@"\b(\w)(\w+)?\b",RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
MatchEvaluator ME = new MatchEvaluator(MD.ReplaceM);

m_string = m_string.ToLower();
m_string = r.Replace(m_string,ME);


private class MatchDelegate
{

/// <summary>
/// Replace the words with there appriotiriate casing
/// </summary>
/// <param name="m">regular expression match class</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public string ReplaceM(Match m)
{
string FirstLetter;
string Word;
Word = m.Groups[2].Value;
FirstLetter=m.Groups[1].Value.ToUpper();
return FirstLetter + Word;

}
}

I have the same experience as FABIAN, the ToTitleCase does not always work. I'm now using FABIANs grate example and the code is much more robust now.

The ToTitleCase is not going to be reliable in all cases if the codes creates a TextInfo based on the current Windows culture settings! (...Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture)

Rather, create TextInfo based on the "en-US" culture:
TextInfo textInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US",false).TextInfo;

Then you can still get your Title cased strings with 2 lines of code :)

Erm, use your loaf and you can get it in one line

public static string ProperCase(string TextToFormat)
{
return new CultureInfo("en").TextInfo.ToTitleCase(TextToFormat.ToLower());
}

ToTitleCase doesnt seem to like inputs in upper case, hence the ToLower() before we start.

Kan jy nou meer, hier kom ek alweer hier uit. :D
Weereens dankie!

it's too simple... on button1_Click

string s=textBox1.Text.ToLower();
string d=s[0].ToString().ToUpper();

for(int i=1;i<s.Length;i++)
if(s[i-1]==' ')
d+=s[i].ToString().ToUpper();
else
d+=s[i].ToString();

textBox1.Text=d;

Thank You! Very nice snippet!
