BestPractice - Transform first character of a string into lower case

Question

I\'d like to have a method that transforms the first character of a string into lower case.

My approaches:

1.

public static string ReplaceFir         


        

Answer 1

Just in case it helps anybody who happens to stumble across this answer.

I think this would be best as an extension method, then you can call it with yourString.FirstCharacterToLower();

public static class StringExtensions
{
    public static string FirstCharacterToLower(this string str)
    {
        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(str) || Char.IsLower(str, 0))
        {
            return str;
        }

        return Char.ToLowerInvariant(str[0]) + str.Substring(1);
    }
}
