Css should work, but depends on your doctype and client browser etc

3 solutions

Solution 1

Add this method

C#

private static string Capitalize(string input)
        {
            string firstLetter = input[0].ToString().ToUpper();
            input = input.Remove(0, 1);
            input = input.Insert(0,firstLetter);
            return input;
        }

and then

C#

blUser.addUA3(idUser, idS,
                    Capitalize(txtLastName.Text),
                   Capitalize(txtFirstName.Text),
                   Capitalize(txtMiddleName.Text),
                 drpUserType.Text,
                 txtUsername.Text);

aspx:

txtFirstName.Text = txtFirstName.Text.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper() + txtFirstName.Text.Remove(0, 1);

cs file:

<asp:textbox id="txtFirstName" runat="server" width="250px" style="text-transform:capitalize;" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

Solution 2

Hi just use this instead of your textboxes

C#

textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper() + textBox1.Text.Remove(0, 1);
