format first name from -john- to -John- ?

[RN]

I'm trying to fix user inputed names to proper case. People love to enter
their names in all lower case or all upper, etc. I remember reading
somewhere that there is an easy way in the framework to convert name fields,
first and last, to proper case. I forgot the name of that case syntax, but
basically where you make sure to capitalize the first letter of someone's
first and last name, fix all capital letters ("JOHN" > "john"), etc.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Also, is there a way in your solution to not screw up names that should have

1 capital letters, like "McDonald", so I won't turn it into "Mcdonald"?

I appreciate the VBScript example, but I'm really looking for the .NET
framework way.
