		<description>Hey, dude! It seems you damn proud of things you discovered after many years of work! hehe :) Relax, it&#039;s just a vainglory. Real professionals (less than 5% of .NET world) already know about Path.Combine; But solution with ToTitleCase is the most idiotic I ever seen. First, it throws an exception on NULL string. WHY?? WTF null cannot be returned as a normal result? Fuck M$.
Second, TextInfo is the last place I&#039;ll visit to find _STRING_ function! Again, stupids from M$ put it there w/o any brains involved. So, don&#039;t learn us MS tricks, learn M$. :)</description>

		<description>This makes so much sense for all Dot.NET developers, however, developers coming from C++ or even VB6 (yuck) are accustomed to thinking totally different. Boost never took off, but imo, it was the best thing that ever happend to C++.

Java programmers will know this, but most java &quot;programmers&quot; are people who came into contact with java in an academic sense, and thus couldn&#039;t ever program anything useful. those few java programmers which are actually good at java produce some amazing stuff.

.NET is unique because you can go both ways: program small programs without much knowledge of the framework, or know the framework and take your program to the next level. java has a steap learning curve, some shitty IDEs and, ftw, bytecode?.
Learning by doing is the most important thing in the IT industry, .NET enables this, many other languages don&#039;t.

Which brings me back to my orginal point: many .NET developers are still &quot;learning&quot; .NET themselves, in time, people will use the framework more and more.</description>

		<description>TextInfo.ToTitleCase does almost NEVER work in my applications. Since the beginning of time I&#039;ve been using my own more reliable function:

private string CorrectCase(string UpperCase)
{
  string IterateString = UpperCase.ToLower();
	
  StringBuilder OutputString = new StringBuilder(IterateString[0].ToString().ToUpper());

  for (int i=1;i&lt;IterateString.Length;i++)
  {
    OutputString.Append((Char.IsWhiteSpace(IterateString, i-1)) ?IterateString[i].ToString().ToUpper():IterateString[i].ToString().ToLower());
  }
	
  return OutputString.ToString();
}</description>
