c# - Converting string to title case

Question

I have a string which contains words in a mixture of upper and lower case characters.

For example: string myData = "a Simple string";

I need to convert the first character of each word (separated by spaces) into upper case. So I want the result as: string myData ="A Simple String";

Is there any easy way to do this? I don't want to split the string and do the conversion (that will be my last resort). Also, it is guaranteed that the strings are in English.

MSDN : TextInfo.ToTitleCase

Make sure that you include: using System.Globalization

string title = "war and peace";

TextInfo textInfo = new CultureInfo("en-US", false).TextInfo;

title = textInfo.ToTitleCase(title); 
Console.WriteLine(title) ; //War And Peace

//When text is ALL UPPERCASE...
title = "WAR AND PEACE" ;

title = textInfo.ToTitleCase(title); 
Console.WriteLine(title) ; //WAR AND PEACE

//You need to call ToLower to make it work
title = textInfo.ToTitleCase(title.ToLower()); 
Console.WriteLine(title) ; //War And Peace
