Set CharacterCasing property to Upper. TextBox Properties (System.Windows.Forms)

Hi, is there anyway to do the same at run time without using:

 Ucase(String)

You need to differentiate between what's a TextBox and what's a String. If you want the casing of a TextBox to be always upper case then you set the CharacterCasing to Upper, period. Whether you set it in the designer or in code doesn't matter. Afetr you set it the contents of the TextBox will always be upper case.

Making a String upper case is something else. If you want to create an all-upper-case copy of an existing String then you have to call a method. You could call Ucase but we're not VB6 developers anymore, so we would call the String's own ToUpper method, e.g.

Dim str As String = "hello world"

MessageBox.Show(str)

str = str.ToUpper()

MessageBox.Show(str)
