The C# way to capitalize each letter in a sentence. Here’s how I did it. Remeber to toLower() if you maybe passing in a string entirely in uppercase.

It’s always nice to see a website thats put at least a little effort into their error pages. Here’s a few a like.
Go to Google Maps UK. Now search for Blackburn. You get back the result you’d expect yes? Google kindly sends you to the middle of Blackburn, Lancashire. Where in the sidebar does it link you to Blackburn, Aberdeenshire? Nowheres!
A nice little bit I CSS3 I use on my homepage to allow me to use fonts not necessarily on the visitor’s computer is @font-face. Font types TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) are supported in Opera 10+, Chrome 4.0, Safari 3.1+ and Firefox 3.5+.
Here’s an example. First declare the font
@font-face {
font-family:'ExampleFont';
src: url('ExampleFontFileName.otf') format('opentype');
}
If you have different font files for font varients e.g. bold, italic, then these need to be set up seperately.
@font-face {
font-family:'ExampleFont';
font-weight: bold;
src: url('ExampleFontFileName-Bold.otf') format('opentype');
}
@font-face {
font-family:'ExampleFont';
font-style: italic;
src: url('ExampleFontFileName-Italic.otf') format('opentype');
}
Last but not least use this font like any other.
body{
font-family:'ExampleFont', Arial, sans-serif;
}
