XAML

  <StackPanel>

    <!-- The CharacterCasing property of this TextBox is set to "Upper" which 
         causes all manually typed characters to be converted to uppercase. -->
    <TextBox CharacterCasing="Upper" Width="100" />
  </StackPanel>
</Page>
C#
using System.Windows.Controls;
namespace SDKSample
{
    public partial class CharacterCasingExample : Page
    {
        public CharacterCasingExample()
        {
            StackPanel myStackPanel = new StackPanel();

            // Create TextBox.
            TextBox myTextBox = new TextBox();
            myTextBox.Width = 100;

            // The CharacterCasing property of this TextBox is set to 
            // "Upper" which causes all manually typed characters to 
            // be converted to upper case.
            myTextBox.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Upper;
            myStackPanel.Children.Add(myTextBox);
            this.Content = myStackPanel;
        }
    }
}
