capitalize first char of string

[jamert]

Hi i've scoured the net and found examples of how to capitalize the first character of a string or to use "ToTitleCase". Capitalize first character reulted in a things like taking the first character.toUpper and putting the string back together; some involved regex ,others not. I'm trying to do this the "ToTitleCase" way, but i can't seem to get it to work without: CultureInfo
eg:
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(string);

reading on the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture Property resulted in negative security comments. Wondering what the best approach for this? any comments...

what's wrong with this?

public function MyTitleCase(string input)
{
   if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(input)) return string.Empty;
   return input[0].ToUpperCase + input.SubString(1, input.Length - 2);
}

Jason -

public function MyTitleCase(string input)

Is that something new in VS2008, or have you been doing too much VB work lately
