First letter in uppercase 2

[DotNetNewbie]

Hi,

I'm sure this is really simple, but for teh life of me I cannot figure it out. I have a form that is used for data entry and I need to make sure the first letter of each text field is converted to uppercase.

Is there a builtin function for this? or can someone suggest a solution.

Many thanks in advance

It is a VB.Net function, not a native .Net function.

ProperCaseStr = StrConv(myStr, VbStrConv.UpperCase)

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper & TextBox1.Text.Substring(1)

or this

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper & TextBox1.Text.Substring(1).tolower

Be careful with Substring if no text.
If TextBox1.Textlength > 0 then
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper & _
TextBox1.Text.Substring(1).tolower
End if

I wrote a little function to do this:
Public Function ProperCase(ByVal strInfo As String) As String
'This function capitalizes the first letter of a name
Dim Letter As String
Dim Hi As String
Letter = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(strInfo, 1)
Letter = Letter.ToUpper
strInfo = Letter & Mid(strInfo, 2)
'MsgBox(strInfo)
Return strInfo
End Function

Hi everyone,

I need some more help on this. The current solution works well, however I need to make a change:

At the moment the current solution will convert:

mark mark

to:

Mark mark

However I now need it to be a little bit more clever and do this:

Mark Mark
