Should I use textbox.text.Trim() function every time when I insert any data from web page to database.
I just have a habit of using the trim function? Does it effect the performance any way? Should I use everytime or just when needed?
I’ve seen many problems with spaces which had been added at the end to a text field by accident (for instance logins which mysteriously didn’t work). So it’s not a bad idea at all to trim() most textfield input as a standard practice.
I think the performance hit of a trim() is absolutely neglible, except maybe for sites with ultra high traffic.
