Hi All,

I want to print the very first letter to capital from a group of words, when i try with vbpropercase it converts first letter of each word to capital. But i do not want that.

Eg., shipping company
should be printed as Shipping company instead of Shipping Company

C#

private string FirstLetterToUpper(string word)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(word))
    {
        sb.Append(word.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper());
        sb.Append(word.Substring(1, word.Length - 1));
    }
    return sb.ToString();           
}
