There seems to be a lot of complexity here when all you need is:

 /// <summary>  /// Returns the input string with the first character converted to uppercase if a letter  /// </summary>  /// <remarks>Null input returns null</remarks>  public static string FirstLetterToUpperCase(this string s)  {   if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s))   return s;   return char.ToUpper(s[0]) + s.Substring(1);  }

Noteworthy points:

  1. ItsIt's an extension method.

  2. If the input is null, empty or whitespacewhite space the input is returned as is.

  3. String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace was introduced with .NET Framework 4. This won't work with older frameworks.
