Converts the value of a specified Unicode character to its uppercase equivalent using specified culture-specific formatting information.
public:
static char ToUpper(char c, System::Globalization::CultureInfo ^ culture);
public static char ToUpper (char c, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture);
static member ToUpper : char * System.Globalization.CultureInfo -> char
Public Shared Function ToUpper (c As Char, culture As CultureInfo) As Char
Parameters
- c
- Char
The Unicode character to convert.
- culture
- CultureInfo
An object that supplies culture-specific casing rules.
Returns
The uppercase equivalent of c
, modified according to culture
, or the unchanged value of c
if c
is already uppercase, has no uppercase equivalent, or is not alphabetic.
Exceptions
culture
is null
.
Examples
The following example converts each character in an array to its uppercase equivalent for the en-US culture, the invariant culture, and the tr-TR culture. In this example, the uppercase equivalent of each lowercase letter is identical for all cultures except for one case. The lowercase "i" character (U+0069) converts to "I" (U+0049) in the en-US and invariant cultures, but to "İ" (U+0130) in the tr-TR culture.

using System.Globalization;
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
CultureInfo[] cultures= { CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US"),
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("tr-TR") };
Char[] chars = {'ä', 'e', 'E', 'i', 'I' };
Console.WriteLine("Character en-US Invariant tr-TR");
foreach (var ch in chars) {
Console.Write(" {0}", ch);
foreach (var culture in cultures)
Console.Write("{0,12}", Char.ToUpper(ch, culture));
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// Character en-US Invariant tr-TR
// ä Ä Ä Ä
// e E E E
// E E E E
// i I I İ
// I I I I

printfn "Character en-US Invariant tr-TR"
for ch in chars do
printf $" {ch}"
for culture in cultures do
printf $"{Char.ToUpper(ch, culture),12}"
printfn ""
// The example displays the following output:
// Character en-US Invariant tr-TR
// ä Ä Ä Ä
// e E E E
// E E E E
// i I I İ
// I I I I

Module Example
Public Sub Main()

Dim chars() As Char = {"ä"c, "e"c, "E"c, "i"c, "I"c }
Console.WriteLine("Character en-US Invariant tr-TR")
For Each ch In chars
Console.Write(" {0}", ch)
For Each culture In cultures
Console.Write("{0,12}", Char.ToUpper(ch, culture))
Next
Console.WriteLine()
Next

' The example displays the following output:
' Character en-US Invariant tr-TR
' ä Ä Ä Ä
' e E E E
' E E E E
' i I I İ
' I I I I

static member ToUpper : char -> char
Public Shared Function ToUpper (c As Char) As Char
Parameters
- c
- Char
The Unicode character to convert.
Returns
The uppercase equivalent of c
, or the unchanged value of c

Examples
The following example converts each character in an array to its uppercase equivalent.
using System;

{
char[] chars = { 'e', 'E', '6', ',', 'ж', 'ä' };
foreach (var ch in chars)

ch == Char.ToUpper(ch) ? "(Same Character)" : "" );
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// e --> E
// E --> E (Same Character)
// 6 --> 6 (Same Character)
// , --> , (Same Character)
// ж --> Ж
// ä --> Ä
open System
let chars = [| 'e'; 'E'; '6'; ','; 'ж'; 'ä' |]
for ch in chars do
printfn $"""{ch} --> {Char.ToUpper ch} {if ch = Char.ToUpper ch then "(Same Character)" else ""}"""
// The example displays the following output:
// e --> E
// E --> E (Same Character)
// 6 --> 6 (Same Character)
// , --> , (Same Character)
// ж --> Ж
// ä --> Ä
Module Example
Public Sub Main()
Dim chars() As Char = { "e"c, "E"c, "6"c, ","c, "ж"c, "ä"c }
For Each ch In chars
Console.WriteLine("{0} --> {1} {2}", ch, Char.ToUpper(ch),
If(ch = Char.ToUpper(ch), "(Same Character)", ""))
Next
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' e --> E
' E --> E (Same Character)
' 6 --> 6 (Same Character)
' , --> , (Same Character)
' ж --> Ж
' ä --> Ä
Remarks
Casing rules are obtained from the current culture.
Use String.ToUpper to convert a string to uppercase.
Notes to Callers
As explained in Best Practices for Using Strings, we recommend that you avoid calling character-casing and string-casing methods that substitute default values. Instead, you should call methods that require parameters to be explicitly specified. To convert a character to uppercase by using the casing conventions of the current culture, call the ToUpper(Char, CultureInfo) method overload with a value of CurrentCulture for its culture
parameter.
