Re: Caps lock

If I understand the question correctly, in C#, you can use the String.ToUpper() method to convert the text to uppercase. For example:

Console.WriteLine("vitalijus".ToUpper()); //returns VITALIJUS

You can also use String.ToLower() to make a string lowercase.

Hope that answers your question.

Re: Caps lock

Wow, time to add more useful/useless information!

I was bored and created a FormatProvider class. <3

public class ToUpperStringFormat : IFormatProvider, ICustomFormatter
{
    public object GetFormat(Type formatType)
    {
        if (formatType == typeof(ICustomFormatter)) return this;
        else return null;
    }

    public string Format(string format, object arg, IFormatProvider formatProvider)
    {
        string result = arg.ToString();
        switch (format.ToUpper())
        {
            case "U":
                return result.ToUpper();
            default:
                return result;
        }
    }
}

Now you can do:

var user = "benjaminsen"; 
var message = "hello"; 
var output = String.Format(new ToUpperStringFormat(), "[Bot] {0:U}: {1}", user, message); 
// output = [Bot] BENJAMINSEN: hello

So gud.

That is absolutely overkill for all intents and purposes and I don't recommend using that.
