ToTitleCase

Converts a string to title case.

  • Use Regex.Matches() with an appropriate regular expression to break the string into words.
  • Use string.Join() and string.ToLower() to convert the words to lowercase and combine them adding as a separator.
  • Use CultureInfo.TextInfo.ToTitleCase() on the result to convert it to title case.
