How to Code in Uppercase in VB.Net

The "Ucase" function provides VB.NET programmers with the ability to code uppercase content for a Web or desktop application. The "Ucase" function is included with the VB.NET programming language, so you do not need to install any third-party add-ons. You can place the Ucase function in any section of your code, which results in all characters in a string displaying as uppercase.

Instructions

1. Click the Windows "Start" button and type "visual studio" in the search text box. Press "Enter" to open the VB.NET programming software.

2. Click the "File" menu item, and then click "Recent." Click the VB.NET project name to open the software code and forms in your designer.

3. Double-click the code file in "Solution Explorer" to open the code in your VB.NET editor. Scroll down the file to the location where you want to use uppercase.

4. Type the following code to set a string as uppercase:

   ucase_string = Ucase("old_string")

   The code above turns "old_string" to "OLD_STRING." Use the Ucase function to change any content in your software to uppercase.
