I think you have to use a MatchEvaluator.

// demonstration calling code
// assuming:
// using System.Text.RegularExpressions
string s = "abc{def}";
string t = Regex.Replace(s, "{.*}", new MatchEvaluator(MatchToUpper));


// somewhere else
static string MatchToUpper(Match m)
{
return m.Value.ToUpper();
}
 
string t = Regex.Replace(s, "{.*}", new MatchEvaluator(MatchToUpper));

The regex should be "\{.*?\}". Otherwise the curlies have special
meaning and the * will match greedily, so you'd get only one match in
the sample expression instead of two.
