[Resolved]what if the textBox is empty? - Truncating white spaces...

Not :mad: anymore.
Iam trying to truncate the leading and trailing white spaces in a text box.How do I do it.
I am trying this piece of code,

string myStr = textBox1.Text;
for (int i=0; i<myStr.Length; i++)
{
if (myStr[i]='(')
{
myStr[0]=myStr[i];
}
}
textBox1.Text=myStr;

In this piece of code,
My text starts with ( and ends with ), so Iam checking if the first character is a ( and trying to reset the index of the array to the current position.
But I get the following errors saying
->Cannot implicitly convert type 'char' to 'bool'
->Property or indexer 'string.this[int]' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only
please help

Use Trim();

string myStr = textBox1.Text.Trim();

Good luck;

Thanks a million!
Should have known it would be this simple with .NET.

what would happen if the textBox1.text is empty?

Nothing...are you wanting to test to make sure it's not empty?

"Nothing...are you wanting to test to make sure it's not empty?"

I just want to know if I leave the Textbox empty and after

String Str=textBox1.text.Trim();

what would be the value of Str ?

It won't have a value, it'll be nothing. Same as if you didin't have the Trim().
