uComponents has some xslt extensions, among which for strings there's the method ToProperCase(String): http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Strings&referringTitle=Documentation Is this what you're looking for?

It might be a solution but is there a simple way of doing it where my XSLT is retrieving the data?

You could add the code in the xslt:

...

xmlns:str="urn:smth:xslt"

...

<msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="str">
<![CDATA[
public string ToProperCase(string input)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
            {
                return string.Empty;
            }
            char[] chars = input.ToCharArray();
            chars[0] = char.ToUpper(chars[0]);
            return new string(chars);
        }
]]>
</msxsl:script>

and call it like <xsl:value-of select="str:ToProperCase('PAGE 1')"/>

Hi Fuji

If you want to convert your node name to lowercase you can do something like this:

<xsl:value-of select="Exslt.ExsltStrings:lowercase(§currentPage/@nodeName)" />

Thanks everyone for the help....

Well is works but am having the same issue either i used CSS to style it or Kim solution.

What i want is to convert the nodeName to lowercase but keeping the first Letter in Uppercase

E.g PAGE 1 => Page 1

My solution does exactly that.

Am getting loads of errors when saving the XSLT... do i just insert this piece of code

<msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="str">
<![CDATA[
public string ToProperCase(string input)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
            {
                return string.Empty;
            }
            char[] chars = input.ToCharArray();
            chars[0] = char.ToUpper(chars[0]);
            return new string(chars);
        }
]]>
</msxsl:script>

I made a test now, and this works:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
  version="1.0" 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
  xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
  xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
  xmlns:str="urn:smth:xslt"
  xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" 
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml
 umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes 
Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings 
Exslt.ExsltSets ">


<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:value-of select="str:ToProperCase('PAGE 1')"/>

</xsl:template>

<msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="str">
<![CDATA[
public string ToProperCase(string input)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
            {
                return string.Empty;
            }
            char[] chars = input.ToLower().ToCharArray();
            chars[0] = char.ToUpper(chars[0]);
            return new string(chars);
        }
]]>
</msxsl:script>
    
</xsl:stylesheet>

Notice the two extra namespaces at the top

xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:str="urn:smth:xslt"

Its still giving me the whole nodeName in Uppercase

If I changed this

 chars[0] = char.ToUpper(chars[0]);

to

 chars[0] = char.ToLower(chars[0]);

only the first letter of my nodeName is in Lowercase but i only want first letter Uppercase and the rest LowerCase

Thanks Got it working...

//fuji

However how to i get another Uppercase if I have to come in a situation where I have a space between the name?

If you wan pure xslt solution check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1207098/xslt-stylesheet-changing-text-to-upper-case (btw first answer on google)

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:value-of select="translate(doc, $smallcase, $uppercase)" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:variable name="smallcase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'" />
<xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'" />

Thanks Petr

Using translate will convert all the chars to uppercase, not only the first one, and will not convert the rest to lowcase.

Thats what i was thinking of. However how is a space interpreted in C#??

A condition can be applied so that after each space the first Char will be a Uppercase and the rest LoweCase right?

Fuji

You can do that like this

<msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="str">
<![CDATA[
public string ToProperCase(string input)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
    {
        return string.Empty;
    }
    string[] words = input.Split(' ');
    string[] wordsPropper = new string[words.Length];
    int count = 0;
    foreach (string word in words)
    {
                char[] chars = word.ToLower().ToCharArray();
                chars[0] = char.ToUpper(chars[0]);
                wordsPropper[count] = new string(chars);
                count++;

    }
    return String.Join(" ", wordsPropper);
}
]]>
</msxsl:script>
 

(it can probably be optimized)

You can also use .NET's ToTitleCase method to do this, so the extension above can be shortened to:

public string ToProperCase(string input)
{
  if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(input)) return string.Empty;

  System.Globalization.TextInfo textInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("", false).TextInfo;

  input = input.ToLower();
  return textInfo.ToTitleCase(input);
}

Not to keep beating the uComponents drum, we've got ToTitleCase in there too! ;-)
