&quot;TrimStart and TrimEnd are supposed to take a character array as a parameter. If you type the keyword null instead, it will trim the white space (blank characters).&quot;<br />
<br />
you can also just do this:<br />
<br />
returnValue.TrimStart( '&quot; ', '“','”' );<br />
returnValue.TrimEnd( '&quot; ', '“','”' );
</div>


"TrimStart and TrimEnd are supposed to take a character array as a parameter. If you type the keyword null instead, it will trim the white space (blank characters)."
