TextInfo.ToTitleCase(String) Method

Definition

Converts the specified string to title case (except for words that are entirely in uppercase, which are considered to be acronyms).

public:
 System::String ^ ToTitleCase(System::String ^ str);
public string ToTitleCase (string str);
member this.ToTitleCase : string -> string
Public Function ToTitleCase (str As String) As String

Parameters

str
String

The string to convert to title case.

Returns

The specified string converted to title case.

Exceptions

str is null.

Examples

The following example changes the casing of a string based on the English (United States) culture, with the culture name en-US.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Defines the String* with mixed casing.
   String^ myString = "wAr aNd pEaCe";
   
   // Creates a TextInfo based on the S"en-US" culture.
   CultureInfo^ MyCI = gcnew CultureInfo( "en-US",false );
   TextInfo^ myTI = MyCI->TextInfo;
   
   // Changes a String* to lowercase.
   Console::WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to lowercase: {1}", myString, myTI->ToLower( myString ) );
   
   // Changes a String* to uppercase.
   Console::WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to uppercase: {1}", myString, myTI->ToUpper( myString ) );
   
   // Changes a String* to titlecase.
   Console::WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to titlecase: {1}", myString, myTI->ToTitleCase( myString ) );
}

/*
This code produces the following output.

S"wAr aNd pEaCe" to lowercase: war and peace
S"wAr aNd pEaCe" to uppercase: WAR AND PEACE
S"wAr aNd pEaCe" to titlecase: War And Peace

*/
using System;
using System.Globalization;

public class SamplesTextInfo  {

   public static void Main()  {

      // Defines the string with mixed casing.
      string myString = "wAr aNd pEaCe";

      // Creates a TextInfo based on the "en-US" culture.
      TextInfo myTI = new CultureInfo("en-US",false).TextInfo;

      // Changes a string to lowercase.
      Console.WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to lowercase: {1}", myString, myTI.ToLower( myString ) );

      // Changes a string to uppercase.
      Console.WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to uppercase: {1}", myString, myTI.ToUpper( myString ) );

      // Changes a string to titlecase.
      Console.WriteLine( "\"{0}\" to titlecase: {1}", myString, myTI.ToTitleCase( myString ) );
   }
}

   Public Shared Sub Main()

      ' Defines the string with mixed casing.
      Dim myString As String = "wAr aNd pEaCe"

      ' Creates a TextInfo based on the "en-US" culture.

      ' Changes a string to lowercase.

'This code produces the following output.
'
'"wAr aNd pEaCe" to lowercase: war and peace
'"wAr aNd pEaCe" to uppercase: WAR AND PEACE
'"wAr aNd pEaCe" to titlecase: War And Peace

The following example passes each string in an array to the ToTitleCase method. The strings include proper title strings as well as acronyms. The strings are converted to title case by using the conventions of the en-US culture.

using System;
using System.Globalization;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      string[] values = { "a tale of two cities", "gROWL to the rescue",
                          "inside the US government", "sports and MLB baseball",
                          "The Return of Sherlock Holmes", "UNICEF and children"};

      TextInfo ti = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo;
      foreach (var value in values)
         Console.WriteLine("{0} --> {1}", value, ti.ToTitleCase(value));
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//    a tale of two cities --> A Tale Of Two Cities
//    gROWL to the rescue --> Growl To The Rescue
//    inside the US government --> Inside The US Government
//    sports and MLB baseball --> Sports And MLB Baseball
//    The Return of Sherlock Holmes --> The Return Of Sherlock Holmes
//    UNICEF and children --> UNICEF And Children
Imports System.Globalization

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim values() As String = { "a tale of two cities", "gROWL to the rescue",
                                 "inside the US government", "sports and MLB baseball",
                                 "The Return of Sherlock Holmes", "UNICEF and children"}
                                 
      Dim ti As TextInfo = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo
      For Each value In values
         Console.WriteLine("{0} --> {1}", value, ti.ToTitleCase(value))
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'    a tale of two cities --> A Tale Of Two Cities
'    gROWL to the rescue --> Growl To The Rescue
'    inside the US government --> Inside The US Government
'    sports and MLB baseball --> Sports And MLB Baseball
'    The Return of Sherlock Holmes --> The Return Of Sherlock Holmes
'    UNICEF and children --> UNICEF And Children

Remarks

Generally, title casing converts the first character of a word to uppercase and the rest of the characters to lowercase. However, this method does not currently provide proper casing to convert a word that is entirely uppercase, such as an acronym. The following table shows the way the method renders several strings.

Input Language Expected result Actual result
war and peace English War and Peace War And Peace
Per anhalter durch die Galaxis German Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis Per Anhalter Durch Die Galaxis
les naufragés d'ythaq French Les Naufragés d'Ythaq Les Naufragés D'ythaq

As illustrated above, the ToTitleCase method provides an arbitrary casing behavior which is not necessarily linguistically correct. A linguistically correct solution would require additional rules, and the current algorithm is somewhat simpler and faster. We reserve the right to make this API slower in the future.

The current implementation of the ToTitleCase method yields an output string that is the same length as the input string. However, this behavior is not guaranteed and could change in a future implementation.
