FYI - You can use VB specific functions in any C# project

[DevGrp]

I just realized that you can use vb specific functions in C#.

I am writing a CD cataloging program and all the title name were upper case in the Database.

I was looking for a function to convert the titles to proper case and unfortunately C# does not have a function to convert strings to proper case, so I had to use the on from VB.NET.

by using

using Microsoft.VisualBasic; or just qualifying the entire name space to use the function like this

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.StrConv

.Net is off the hook

c# does have the function

string mybiatch = "blah blah";
bybiatch = mybiatch.toUpper();

I know about the toUpper function. I was'nt refering to that one.

VB has a function call StrConv.

This is what I wanted to do.

In CD database, the CD Titles were entered using upper case.

eg. "COMPACT DISK"

I wanted "Compact Disk"

StrConv converts the first letter of each word to uppercase and the rest of the letters lowercase.

That is what is refered to as propercase.

.NET does have a way to convert to Propercase (now called Titlecase) in C#...
I wrote a quick example for ya!

be sure to add

using System.Globalization; 

            CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en"); //Create a new CultureInfo class for the english language
            TextInfo cc = ci.TextInfo; //Get the textinfo class from the CultureInfo object
            MessageBox.Show(cc.ToTitleCase("helLo joP hOw ArE yOU?"));
