Jerry,
I don't think I have seen such function in .NET, but here is how the people that created the Visual Foxpro Toolkit for .NET converted the PROPER function:

public static string Proper(string cString)
{
	//Create the StringBuilder
	StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(cString);

	int i,j = 0 ;
	int nLength = cString.Length ;

	for ( i = 0 ; i < nLength; i++)
	{
		//look for a blank space and once found make the next character to uppercase
		if ((i== 0) || (char.IsWhiteSpace(cString[i])))
		{
			//Handle the first character differently
			if( i==0 ) {j=i;}
			else  {j=i+1;}

			//Make the next character uppercase and update the stringBuilder
			sb.Remove(j, 1);
			sb.Insert(j, Char.ToUpper(cString[j]));
			}
		}
	return sb.ToString();
}

If you haven't already I recomend checking the Visual Foxpro Toolkit for .NET (http://foxcentral.net/microsoft/VFPToolkitNET.htm).
