Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web

Declaration

C#

public static bool EnableUpperCase { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Shared Property EnableUpperCase As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if the upper case is enabled in labels and captions; otherwise, false.

Remarks

By default, in XAF ASP.NET Web Forms applications, the upper case is enabled in labels and captions. The following code snippet demonstrates how to disable it.

C#

protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
    //...
    WebApplication.Instance.SwitchToNewStyle();
    WebApplicationStyleManager.EnableUpperCase = false;
    WebApplication.Instance.Setup();
    WebApplication.Instance.Start();
}

VB.NET

Protected Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    '...
    WebApplication.Instance.SwitchToNewStyle()
    WebApplicationStyleManager.EnableUpperCase = False
    WebApplication.Instance.Setup()
    WebApplication.Instance.Start()
End Sub

This property has effect when used before the application main page is shown. You can access it in the Session_Start method located in the Global.asax file, after the WebApplication.SwitchToNewStyle method is called.

The result is demonstrated in the image below.

Alternatively, you can use the following properties to disable upper case for grid column, layout group and navigation group captions, individually.

• WebApplicationStyleManager.EnableGridColumnsUpperCase
• WebApplicationStyleManager.EnableGroupUpperCase
• WebApplicationStyleManager.EnableNavigationGroupsUpperCase
