Just wondering if there is a way (natively) to format a string in .NET like the InitCap function does in Oracle.

That is, the text "GOOD MORNING" would format to "Good Morning".

Any ideas??

Hello,

I don't know if there is, but if there isn't, an alternative that you could do is:

Dim strWords() As String = "GOOD MORNING".Split(" ".ToCharArray())
Dim strText As String = ""

For intI As Integer = 0 To strWords.Count
  Dim strWord As String = strWords(intI)
  strText &= strWord.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper() & _
   strWord.Substring(1).ToLower()
Next

Response.Write(strText)

Something like that you could do. Basically break the string apart by the space; cast the first letter to upper case with ToUpper(), and cast the rest to lower case with ToLower().

I tried the CSS solution, and it didn't work for me, so I dug a little deeper and found the StrConv function:

Obviously this is VB-centric, but I would think there is an equivalent in C#
