is there function to do proper case formatting on a string?

\\\
Dim s As String = StrConv("hello world!", VbStrConv.ProperCase)
///

 

[Brian Henry]

but wouldn't toupper convert every char in the string to uppercase? where
proper case would just say "My text string. This is fun." as where toupper
would be "MY TEXT STRING. THIS IS FUN."

 

[Brian Henry]

\\\
Dim s As String = StrConv("hello world!", VbStrConv.ProperCase)
///

No it would return ( and display in this case ) a New string where all the
characters from the origional are converted to ToUpper. Strings in .NET are
immutable, you cannot convert them once they are created.

Yes, but the point is that he wanted PROPER case, not UPPER.

I was completly perplex when I saw this answer from you.

Here the thread where you showed StrConv and the discussion with Herfried.

That's true.

I misread it; for some reason, I translated Proper to ToUpper, my
appologies.

My universal translator must be malfunctioning.
