Toupper() with accents

Question

I own a string, where I wish to capitalize it, to standardize the information. I am using the ToUpper(). But when that string has accents the text gets shuffled.

How to receive text with normal accents, or remove accents and receive text correctly?

My View calling the string:

insira o có[email protected](model => model.sLotacao).ToString().ToUpper()

Result on page:

SECRETARIA M. DE EDUCAçãO

Answer 1

Try specifying culture information by passing an object CultureInfo for the method ToUpper:

insira o código @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.sLotacao).ToString().ToUpper(CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("pt-BR"))

Still, if it doesn’t work, just try not using @Html.DisplayFor.
