Uppercasing and Lowercasing
You can easily produce a version of a string where all the characters are uppercase or all the characters are lowercase.
To produce a string in either uppercase or lowercase form:
Declare a new string variable.
Type = str.ToUpper(); or = str.ToLower() accordingly, where str is a variable holding the original string (Figure 4.55).
Figure 4.55 The ToUpper function creates a new string object from the original where all characters are in uppercase.

Figure 4.55Tip
The ToUpper and ToLower functions don't change the original string. They produce new strings (and therefore new string buffers) with the characters' case modified.
