Force Uppercase in Label
Posted on 2006-11-28
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:Lab
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

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
</body>
</html>

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
