following the 3 leaf model when they moved, I thought I should post this notice a couple of times...

The first post over there shows the app that I wrote last night and then used to copy all of my posts and categories over from this blog to the new location... I'll post the code for that app at some point, as boring as it is...

Recusive GetFiles for DirectoryInfo via a C# Iterator

I just want to ask how to make the string in to proper format..
ex...
input.
gerald

this must be the output:
Gerald

and i want it to interactively change when i'm inputing a string in a textbox..

And the answer is to put this code into the TextChanged event of your textbox;

Dim ci As Globalization.CultureInfo = _
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture



Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _

        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged

    Dim pos As Integer = TextBox1.SelectionStart

    TextBox1.Text = ci.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(TextBox1.Text)

    If pos > 0 AndAlso pos <= TextBox1.Text.Length Then

        TextBox1.SelectionStart = pos

    End If

End Sub

The key is that the CultureInfo class provides a TextInfo instance, which in turn has a method of "ToTitleCase" on it... This KB article provides more info and also shows an alternate method to achieve the same results (StrConv()).

"Have you ever copied some text from a web page, a word document, help, etc., and wanted to paste it as simple text into another application without getting all the formatting from the original source? PureText makes this simple. Just copy/cut whatever you want to the clipboard, click on the PureText tray icon, and then paste to any application. Better yet, you can configure a Hot-Key to convert and paste the text for you. The pasted text will be pure and free from all formatting."
