Answer 1

This is an extension method on the string class that capitalizes a single word. You can use it alongside a str.Split() and str.Join to capitalize every word of the str string. You can add checks for empty or one character length strings.

public static string Capitalize(this string word)
{
    return word.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper() + word.Substring(1).ToLower();
}
