convert textbox text to uppercase in c#
In this post we will see how to convert textbox text to upper case when it is entered .
For this we will consider an example, suppose a textbox is taken for full name, then we should allow only characters/letters in it. And we want full name to be entered in upper case. For this we can validate a textbox such that the text entered in it should appear in uppercase automatically even if user entered a lowercase.
I am taking a textbox txtFullName on Form and a errorprovider. Now we are taking a keypress event of textbox txtFullName . The c# code is like this..
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
private void txtFullName_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (!char.IsLetter(e.KeyChar) && Convert.ToInt32(e.KeyChar) != 8 && Convert.ToInt32(e.KeyChar) != 32) { errorProvider1.SetError(txtFullName, "Only letters allowed"); e.Handled = true; txtFullName.Focus(); } else { errorProvider1.Clear(); e.KeyChar = char.ToUpper(e.KeyChar); } } |
According to the above code, textbox allows only letters, backspace and space. And it converts the input text to uppercase even if user enters a lowercase letter .
If any other key like number or special character is entered by the user , the error provider will blink.
