Returns

String

The uppercase equivalent of the current string.

Examples

The following example calls the ToUpper method to convert a series of one-character strings that contain each character in the Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, and Latin Extended-A character sets. It then displays each string whose uppercase character is different from its lowercase character.

using namespace System;

void main()
{
   int n = 0;
   for (int ctr = 0x20; ctr <= 0x017F; ctr++) {
      String^ string1 = Convert::ToChar(ctr).ToString();
      String^ upperString = string1->ToUpper();
      if (string1 != upperString) {
         Console::Write(L"{0} (\u+{1}) --> {2} (\u+{3})         ",
                       string1, 
                       Convert::ToUInt16(string1[0]).ToString("X4"),
                       upperString, 
                       Convert::ToUInt16(upperString[0]).ToString("X4"));
         n++;
         if (n % 2 == 0) Console::WriteLine();
      }
   } 
}

Remarks

This method uses the casing rules of the current culture to convert each character in the current instance to its uppercase equivalent. If a character does not have an uppercase equivalent, it is included unchanged in the returned string.

Note

This method does not modify the value of the current instance. Instead, it returns a new string in which all characters in the current instance are converted to uppercase.

The ToUpper method is often used to convert a string to uppercase so that it can be used in a case-insensitive comparison. A better method to perform case-insensitive comparison is to call a string comparison method that has a StringComparison parameter whose value you set to StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase for a culture-sensitive, case-insensitive comparison.

The casing operation that results from calling the ToUpper() method takes the casing conventions of the current culture into account. If you need the lowercase or uppercase version of an operating system identifier, such as a file name, named pipe, or registry key, use the ToLowerInvariant or ToUpperInvariant method. This produces the same result in every culture (unlike the ToUpper() method) and performs more efficiently.

Notes to Callers

As explained in Best Practices for Using Strings, we recommend that you avoid calling string casing methods that substitute default values and instead call methods that require parameters to be explicitly specified. To convert a string to uppercase by using the casing conventions of the current culture, signal your intention explicitly by calling the ToUpper(CultureInfo) method overload with a value of CurrentCulture for its culture parameter. If you don't need linguistic-aware comparison, consider using Ordinal.

Parameters

culture
CultureInfo

An object that supplies culture-specific casing rules. If culture is null, the current culture is used.

Returns

String

The uppercase equivalent of the current string.

Examples

The following example converts a string of lowercase characters to two strings of uppercase characters using the English-United States and Turkish-Turkey cultures, then compares the uppercase strings. The uppercase strings are identical except that for each occurrence of the Unicode LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I in one string, the other string contains LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE.

Remarks

The casing rules of the culture specified by the culture parameter determine the way the case of a string is changed.

Note

This method does not modify the value of the current instance. Instead, it returns a new string in which all characters in the current instance are converted to uppercase.

If you pass the ToUpper(CultureInfo) method a CultureInfo object other than CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, the casing operation will take culture-specific rules into account. If you need the lowercase or uppercase version of an operating system identifier, such as a file name, named pipe, or registry key, use the ToLowerInvariant or ToUpperInvariant method. This produces the same result in every culture and performs more efficiently.
