Does anyone have a good Proper Case algorithm

Question

Does anyone have a trusted Proper Case or PCase algorithm (similar to a UCase or Upper)? I\'m looking for something that takes a value such as \"GEORGE BURDELL\"

Answer 1

Unless I've misunderstood your question I don't think you need to roll your own, the TextInfo class can do it for you.

using System.Globalization;

CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase("GeOrGE bUrdEll")

Will return "George Burdell. And you can use your own culture if there's some special rules involved.

Update: Michael (in a comment to this answer) pointed out that this will not work if the input is all caps since the method will assume that it is an acronym. The naive workaround for this is to .ToLower() the text before submitting it to ToTitleCase.
