First Letter In Uppercase in C#

Strings sometimes have lowercase first letters. Uppercasing the first letter is often necessary for example, a name. The code samples are examples of how to make a string's first letter uppercase using String.Substring() method of C# and .NET.
 
The string has its first letter uppercased. It is then returned with the remaining part unchanged. This is the functionality of the ucfirst function from PHP and Perl. And strings with multiple words can be changed to title case.
