c# - How to capitalize names

Question

Basically if I want to transform a name from

stephen smith

to

Stephen Smith

I can easily do it with come CSS on the page, but ideally I would like to catch it earlier on and change it when it comes out of the database. How can I get C# to capitalise a string?

Is there a function for this?

Answer 1

You can do this using the ToTitleCase method of the System.Globalization.TextInfo class:

CultureInfo cultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
TextInfo textInfo = cultureInfo.TextInfo;

Console.WriteLine(textInfo.ToTitleCase(title));
Console.WriteLine(textInfo.ToLower(title));
Console.WriteLine(textInfo.ToUpper(title));
