 static char ToUpper(char c, System::Globalization::CultureInfo ^ culture);

public static char ToUpper (char c, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture);

static member ToUpper : char * System.Globalization.CultureInfo -> char

Public Shared Function ToUpper (c As Char, culture As CultureInfo) As Char

Parameters

Returns

The uppercase equivalent of c, modified according to culture, or the unchanged value of c if c is already uppercase, has no uppercase equivalent, or is not alphabetic.

Exceptions

Examples

The following example converts each character in an array to its uppercase equivalent for the en-US culture, the invariant culture, and the tr-TR culture. In this example, the uppercase equivalent of each lowercase letter is identical for all cultures except for one case. The lowercase "i" character (U+0069) converts to "I" (U+0049) in the en-US and invariant cultures, but to "İ" (U+0130) in the tr-TR culture.

      Char[] chars = {'ä', 'e', 'E', 'i', 'I' };

      Console.WriteLine("Character     en-US     Invariant     tr-TR");

Parameters

Returns

The uppercase equivalent of c, or the unchanged value of c if c is already uppercase, has no uppercase equivalent, or is not alphabetic.

Examples

The following example converts each character in an array to its uppercase equivalent.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      char[] chars = { 'e', 'E', '6', ',', 'ж', 'ä' };
      foreach (var ch in chars)

                            ch == Char.ToUpper(ch) ? "(Same Character)" : "" );
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       e --> E
//       E --> E (Same Character)
//       6 --> 6 (Same Character)
//       , --> , (Same Character)
//       ж --> Ж
//       ä --> Ä

open System

let chars = [| 'e'; 'E'; '6'; ','; 'ж'; 'ä' |]

for ch in chars do
    printfn $"""{ch} --> {Char.ToUpper ch} {if ch = Char.ToUpper ch then "(Same Character)" else ""}"""

// The example displays the following output:
//       e --> E
//       E --> E (Same Character)
//       6 --> 6 (Same Character)
//       , --> , (Same Character)
//       ж --> Ж
//       ä --> Ä

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim chars() As Char = { "e"c, "E"c, "6"c, ","c, "ж"c, "ä"c }
      For Each ch In chars
         Console.WriteLine("{0} --> {1} {2}", ch, Char.ToUpper(ch),
                           If(ch = Char.ToUpper(ch), "(Same Character)", ""))
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       e --> E
'       E --> E (Same Character)
'       6 --> 6 (Same Character)
'       , --> , (Same Character)
'       ж --> Ж
'       ä --> Ä

Remarks

Casing rules are obtained from the current culture.

Use String.ToUpper to convert a string to uppercase.

Notes to Callers

As explained in Best Practices for Using Strings, we recommend that you avoid calling character-casing and string-casing methods that substitute default values. Instead, you should call methods that require parameters to be explicitly specified. To convert a character to uppercase by using the casing conventions of the current culture, call the ToUpper(Char, CultureInfo) method overload with a value of CurrentCulture for its culture parameter.
