How to capitalize words in a string in C#?

Question

I have a string say "my name is john". Now I want to convert this string to "My Name Is John". how would I do that? I am using C# language. I am new to C# and don't have much idea on string manipulation.

I have tried this code

string functionName = "my name is john";
var dam = Char.ToUpperInvariant(functionName[0]) + functionName.Substring(1);

the output is "My name is john". I want "My Name Is John".

you'll need to show what you've attempted and explain exactly what didn't work when you tried this. — JSteward, Mar 02 '20 at 21:43

use this :

    string UpperFirstWords(string input)
    {
        string[] list = input.Split(' ');
        string[] output=list.Select(x => x = x[0].ToString().ToUpper() + x.Substring(1)).ToArray<string>();
        return string.Join(" ", output);
    }

        string mystr = "my name is john";
        string outp = UpperFirstWords(mystr);

after running , the outp value is : My Name Is John
