how to use toupper in C#?

Question

I would like to ask how to use .ToUpper() function in C#. Our professor told us to use .ToUpper(). ex. When you enter a name and the first letter of each input must be a capital letter.

ian bartolome entera (original input)
Ian Bartolome Entera (Output needed)

Welcome to StackOverflow! Did you at least try to type "c# toupper" into Google search field before taking the effort to open a whole question? — René Vogt, Mar 07 '16 at 05:21

You can use TextInfo.ToTitleCase method (even though your professor said to use .ToUpper() this is quite easy!!!);

With a specific culture;

string text = "ian bartolome entera";

TextInfo textInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US", false).TextInfo;//Specify your culture here
string titleCase = textInfo.ToTitleCase(text); //Ian Bartolome Entera

Or with the current culture;

string text = "ian bartolome entera";
string titleCase = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(text);

Actually your question is « How to make first letter Upper case ? »

There are already a lot of answers on this site.

You can use this function:

public static string UpperCaseFirstLetter (string input)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
    {
        return input;
    }
    if (input.Length < 2)
    {
        return input.ToUpper();
    }
    return input[0].ToString().ToUpper() + input.Substring(1);
}

you really should check the C# docs before asking !

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      int n = 0;
      for (int ctr = 0x20; ctr <= 0x017F; ctr++) {
         string string1 = Convert.ToChar(ctr).ToString();
         string upperString = string1.ToUpper();
         if (string1 != upperString) {
            Console.Write(@"{0} (\u+{1}) --> {2} (\u+{3})         ", 
                          string1, 
                          Convert.ToUInt16(string1[0]).ToString("X4"),  
                          upperString, 
                          Convert.ToUInt16(upperString[0]).ToString("X4"));                     
            n++;
            if (n % 2 == 0) Console.WriteLine();
         }
