Formatting Text Strings in vb.net 2005

[JimRockford0924]

I need to find out to make the first letter of a string uppercase while leaving the rest as is. This is necessary for customer names, vendor names, etc. Can anyone help?

One way

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim str As String = "david"
        Dim l As String = UCase(str.Substring(0, 1))
        MsgBox(l + str.Substring(1))
    End Sub
End Class

It's even easier, take a lok at the strConv function:

dim S as String
S = StrConv(S, vbProperCase)

You can also use the above with text boxes, etc.
