VB.NET StrConv Example – Code Sample Syntax
Abstract: – Illustrates using VB.NET StrConv Code Example.
*** 2. StrConv Syntax ***
Purpose:
returns string converted as specified
Syntax:
StrConv(string1,conversion,LocalId)
Parameters |
Description |
string1 |
Required. String expression to be converted.
|
conversion |
Required. VbStrConv member. The enumeration
value specifying the type of conversion to perform.
Enumeration(member) Description()
VbStrConv.None() Performs no conversion
VbStrConv.LinguisticCasing() Uses linguistic rules for casing, rather than File System
(default). Valid with VbStrConv.UpperCase and VbStrConv.LowerCase only.
VbStrConv.Uppercase() Converts the string to uppercase characters.
VbStrConv.Lowercase() Converts the string to lowercase characters.
VbStrConv.ProperCase() Converts the first letter of every word in string to uppercase.
VbStrConv.Wide* Converts narrow (half-width) characters in the string to wide
(full-width) characters.
VbStrConv.Narrow* Converts wide (full-width) characters in the string to narrow
(half-width) characters.
VbStrConv.Katakana** Converts Hiragana characters in the string to Katakana characters.
VbStrConv.Hiragana** Converts Katakana characters in the string to Hiragana characters.
VbStrConv.SimplifiedChinese* Converts Traditional Chinese characters to Simplified Chinese.
VbStrConv.TraditionalChinese* Converts Simplified Chinese characters to Traditional Chinese.
* – Chinese locales only
** – Japanese locales only
|
LocalId |
Optional. The LocaleID value, if different from the system LocaleID value.
(The system LocaleID value is the default.)
|
Result Data Type |
Description |
string |
Converted string expression
|
*** 3. StrConv – Quick Example ***
|
Dim strString1 As String = “Hello”
Console.WriteLine(StrConv(strString1, VbStrConv.Lowercase)) ‘Returns hello

Prerequistes:
- Install Visual Basic (Express or Standard Edition)
- Install SQL Server Express
- Download Northwind and pubs Database
- Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
- Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express
Notes:
- Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
- You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.vb
Instructions:
- Use Visual Basic 2010 Express or Standard Edition
- Create new project;
- Click File/New Project
- Select Console Application Template
- Select Visual Basic for Language
- name of project could be VBNET_Syntax.
- Add New folder named “StringManipulation”
- Right-click project name in solution explorer;
- add new folder;
- name of folder could be: StringManipulation
- Add Class Named clsStrConv to StringManipulation folder
- Right-click StringManipulation folder;
- add new item;
- Select class
- Class name could be clsStrConv
- Click on Visual Basic in code in step 1 above to copy code into clsStrConv.vb
- Click on Visual Basic in code in step 2 above to copy code into Module1.vb
- Click green arrow or press F5 to run program
