Capitalize first letters of contact first name and last name

Hi I'm trying to capitalize 1st and last name letters for the existing contacts using c# and for the new contacts javascript.

I need a help in fixing them please.

Thanks

c#:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            _service = GetService();

            var Criteria = new FilterExpression();
            _log.Info("Capitalize function has started");
            QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression("contact");
            query.EntityName = "contact";
            query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet();
            query.ColumnSet.AddColumns("firstname", "lastname", "contactid");

            FilterExpression childFilter = query.Criteria.AddFilter(LogicalOperator.Or);
            childFilter.AddCondition("firstname", ConditionOperator.NotNull);
            childFilter.AddCondition("lastname", ConditionOperator.NotNull);

            EntityCollection results = _service.RetrieveMultiple(query);

            foreach (var item in results.Entities)
            {
                var contactid = item.GetAttributeValue<Guid>("contactid");

                ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet(new[] {"firstname", "lastname"});

                Entity contact = _service.Retrieve("contact", contactid, cols);

                if (item.GetAttributeValue<string>("firstname") != null)
                {
                    {
                        item["firstname"]= ToTitleCase(item.GetAttributeValue<string>("firstname"));

                    }

                    if (item.GetAttributeValue<string>("lastname") != null)
                    {
                       // item["lastname"] = item.GetAttributeValue<string>("lastname").ToUpper();

                        item["lastname"] = ToTitleCase(item.GetAttributeValue<string>("lastname"));

                    }

                    _service.Update(contact);
                }
            }

        }
public string ToTitleCase(string str)
{
return CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(str.ToLower());
}

JavaScript:

//================Start: CapitalLetter=================================================
    function CapitalizeFirstLetters(FieldName)
          {

            var firstnamelowercase = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("firstname").getValue();
            
            if(firstnamelowercase!= null)
            
            { var firstName = firstToUpperCase(firstnamelowercase); 
            
            Xrm.Page.getAttribute("firstname").setValue(firstName); }


            var lastnamelowercase  = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("lastname").getValue(); 

            if(lastnamelowercase!= null)
            
            { var firstName = firstToUpperCase(lastnamelowercase); 
            
            Xrm.Page.getAttribute("lastname").setValue(lastname); }
             
          }
//====================End:CapitalLetter=================================================
