Answer 1

Use a regular expression:

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

texbox.Text = Regex.Replace(textbox.Text, "[^A-Z]", "");

Anything you don't want (non-uppercase characters) will be replaced with blank.

Answer 2

Use Char.IsUpper.

Answer 3

I don't know the actual c# code but I can conceptualize it for you if you're SURE that all acronyms will be properly represented by just the capitals in the given string.

• blow the string up into an array where each array element is a character
• convert each element to it's character representation
• check it against the numeric order of available capital letters
  • if it's a capital letter, add it to a variable for use later

Pseudo-code:

$charArray = $string.split("")
foreach ($item in $charArray) {
   if ([int]$item > 64 && [int]$item < 91) {
      $acronym += [char]$item
   }
}
