Force Uppercase in Label

Hi,
I have a small question about formatting Label on an ASP.net page.

I use a sqldatasource to retrieve data from our oracle database,
on the page I put a datalist in which I bind the different fields returned by my query.

<asp:Label ID="CPLab" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" Font-Underline="True"
Text='<%# Eval("COMPANYNAME") %>' Font-Names="Times New Roman" Font-Size="11pt"></asp:Label>

One of the field comes from the database with the first letter in capital and others small.
I would like to force the label to display the whole field (all the letters) in uppercase.

By example, this give
Coca-cola -->COCA-COLA

and the same with lowercase
Thierry-->thierry

Acces databse gives ! to force uppercase, but I am unable to find the asp code.

thanks for your help

}

Thanks for your reply,

I try this solution, but don't get it work
meaning

in My aspx page, I try this without success :

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<script runat="server">
</script>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Progress Report</title>

<style type="text/css">
.UpperCase
{
text-transform:uppercase;
}
</style>

</head>
<body>
<asp:Label ID="CPLab" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" Font-Underline="True"
Text='<%# Eval("COMPANYNAME") %>' Font-Names="Times New Roman" Font-Size="11pt" CssClass="uppercase"></asp:Label>
</body>
</html>



even with this
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css">

and putting your code in the css sheet

Any idea where I am wrong ?

Thanks

you have this in your tag

uppercase

when your class is

UpperCase

Css Style attaching is case sensitive so the following will work.

<asp:Label ID="CPLab" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" Font-Underline="True"
Text='<%# Eval("COMPANYNAME") %>' Font-Names="Times New Roman" Font-Size="11pt" CssClass="UpperCase"></asp:Label>
