Re: Best way to convert "cAsE" to "Case"?

actually i did do the Upper solution. The reason i WAS using a mixed
case was solely for my readability and code cleanliness. I prefer the
look vs ALL CAPS / lower, But none the less, i gave in until i find
another solution. But im not ganna waste all my time on this little
thing :o

So for now all the enums are CAPS, and i use ToUpper()
