Captilizing the first letter of all words in a sentence.

We need to capitalize the first letters of some word or some text (for example when we want to display users name or city name etc).
Since string class does not have a method to do this we could think that there is no built-in solution in C# for this problem...

But a little digging trough MSDN would help us find ToTitleCase method of TextInfo class in System.Globalization namespace that does exactly what we need: capitalizes the first letter of each word in the string.

here is how to use it:

using System.Globalization;

TextInfo UsaTextInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US", false).TextInfo;

string capitalized = UsaTextInfo.ToTitleCase("asp.net simply rocks!!!");


After the execution, capitalized string would have this value:
"Asp.Net Simply Rocks!!!".
