How can I automatically .Trim() whitespace from the results of my Linq2SQL query?
It seems that if SQL has a varchar width of 255 my returned result for “abc” will have 252 chars of whitespace.
Are using
char(255)rather thanvarchar(255)?If not, check the data in your database – you must be storing all those spaces in the column. Linq-to-sql will only return the column as a string. It does not pad it with spaces, and will only return the 252 spaces if they exist in your database. Are you storing all those spaces in the database? e.g.
"abc______________"I’d firstly suggest you fix your database, but if you can’t do that then you can edit the generated code as Exoas suggests.
