Allow only upper case letters in text box

How can I only allow user to enter upper case letters
into a text box, and if he enters a lower case letter,
change it to upper case.

in vb6 I would use the keypress event and change the key
to upper case, but in .net the key is read only.

Set the textbox's 'CharacterCasin g' property to 'Upper'.

In my web form, I am converting all lower case letters to upper case when the user types the characters in the edit boxes. I am achieving that by injecting client side script (onkeyup event) for each text box. However if the user types the characters so fast it may not work.. Also there are some other loopholes in my code. Is there any approach in ASP.Net to make sure whenever the user types lower case, the data will be converted to upper...

Should HTML 4.01 Strict markup be done in upper case or in lower case? I understand that HTML allows either upper or lower case. I also notice that XHTML apparently requires lower case. However I saw some mention that the HTML DOM uses upper case for markup elements. So, should I worry about what this means? I am inclined to go with lower case, for two reasons. Easier to change if I subsequently want to use XHTML.

Now this ought to be a simple matter. But nothing's simple in the Net world, I'm finding. In vb6 you could use "!" to force text to upper case in the format function. I've searched the vb.net help system and can't find any help on formatting text. There's plenty of help formatting numbers, dates, and times, though. I'm in the phase of converting from 6 to Net and it seems that even the simplest thing is very, very complicated. And it...

hi, i'm referring to System.Globalization.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(string s) and it works fine if you pass in an all lower or mixed case string. however i am trying to make amends for data entry staff who like to leave Caps Lock on all the time, so all the input is in upper case. ToTitleCase("CORK") returns "CORK" instead of "Cork". any ideas why? i can obviously sent all the strings ToLower before calling ToTitleCase but that seems like a...

Why does ToTitleCase not work if the case is already in upper case? I have to make my string lowercase, first, before I pass to to ToTitleCase to have it work. Titan

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
