may be this will help you
// Convert to upper case
String upper = string.toUpperCase();

// Convert to lower case
String lower = string.toLowerCase();

try this one. if you have a textbox for the user input, it will look like this

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim myVar As String
        myVar = TextBox1.Text.ToUpper 'if changing to lower case just use .tolower
        MsgBox(myVar)
    End Sub

or you can change it after assigning textbox1 to myVar

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim myVar As String
        myVar = TextBox1.Text
        myVar = myVar.ToUpper
        MsgBox(myVar)
    End Sub

>>e.g Start with a capital.

With TextBox1
            .Text = StrConv(.Text, VbStrConv.ProperCase)
        End With

have tried but it converts the whole text to upper case. i would like to convert the first letter only.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim myVar As String
        myVar = TextBox1.Text.ToUpper 'if changing to lower case just use .tolower
        TextBox1.Text = (myVar)
    End Sub

any further assistance is more great to me.thanks

Please try:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim myVar As String
    myVar = Strings.StrConv(TextBox1.Text, VbStrConv.ProperCase)
    TextBox1.Text = myVar
End Sub

try this:

Dim exampe As String = "this is text."
Dim bigLetter As String = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(exampe)
