VB.NET: How to camel case words that are uppercased

Question

If I have a string "HELLO WORLD"

How can I lowercase every letter after the first one but keep the camel casing so: I get:

Hello World

Isn't Hello World actually pascal case? doesn't camel casing mean - helloWorld? — Eakan Gopalakrishnan, Dec 09 '19 at 12:06

You can try http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/02/01/sql-server-udf-function-to-convert-text-string-to-title-case-proper-case/ or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/230138/sql-server-make-all-upper-case-to-proper-case-title-case But I suggest to do this on the client. SQL just doesn't have the functions to do this eaisly. – Egor4eg Apr 29 '11 at 08:32

Use Proper Case

strName = StrConv(strName, VbStrConv.ProperCase)

You might want to take a look at this class in the .NET Framework

System.Globalization.TextInfo.ToTitleCase()

"Generally, title casing converts the first character of a word to uppercase and the rest of the characters to lowercase...."

You might have to do a .ToLower() first according to the docs.

There is an option to convert a string to title casing, in vb.net.

Try this code. It should work fine.

Dim title as String = "converted to title case"

Console.WriteLine(StrConv(title, VbStrConv.ProperCase))
