Answer 1

Hope this helps :)... But note that the process will most likely be slow if you have many, many strings to change case...

    string str = "to title case";
    Char[] ca = str.ToCharArray();

    foreach(Match m in Regex.Matches(str, @"\b[a-z]"))
    {
        ca[m.Index] = Char.ToUpper(ca[m.Index]);
    }
    Console.WriteLine(new string(ca));

Update: Or you could also use a custom evaluator to change the case like this:

    string str = "to title case";
    Console.WriteLine(Regex.Replace(str, @"\b[a-z]", delegate (Match m) 
                                                  {
                                                      return m.Value.ToUpper();
                                                  }
                      ));

Note that in my test with 1,000,000 iterations the first method was only 0.48 seconds faster than the one with the evaluator (The first one took 6.88 seconds and the latter 7.36 seconds to complete the 1,000,000 iterations) so I wouldn't take speed into account to choose either...
