Is there a native Proper Case string function in C#?

Question

I was about to write my own C# extension to convert a string to Proper Case (i.e. capitalize the first letter of every word), then I wondered if there's not a native C# function to do just that... is there?

Answer 1

There is a function that capitalises the first letters of words, though you should see the remarks section as it does have some limitations which may make it unsuitable for your needs.

Answer 2

String s  = "yOu caN Use thIs"

s = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread
           .CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(s.toLower());

The main limitation I can see with this is that it's not "true" title case. i.e. In the phrase "WaR aNd peaCe", the "and" part should be lowercase in English. This method would capitalise it though.
