remove spaces in search criteria

[Robin]

I needed to be able to trim leading & trailing spaces that may have been inadvertently entered by the user as part of their search criteria. I tried to find documentation on this to no avail. If there's a better way to do it, please let me know. 

Until then, this is what I did...
I used a separate button to execute the search. The onclick of that button fires this method:

   protected void FilterData(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        LoopThruFilterControls(rfPortfolios.Controls);
        rfPortfolios.FireApplyCommand();
    }

And LoopThruFilterControls looks like this:

    private void LoopThruFilterControls(ControlCollection cc)
     {
        for (int i = 0; i < cc.Count; i++)
        {
string controlType = cc[i].GetType().Name;
if(controlType.Equals("TextBox", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
{
TextBox tmp = (TextBox)cc[i];
                ((TextBox)cc[i]).Text = tmp.Text.Trim();
                }
                LoopThruFilterControls(cc[i].Controls);
        }
    }

Hello,

I have tried the following code after accessing the TextBox and it worked as expected.
C#:

 string t= textbox.Text;
 string s = t.Trim();
 text.Text = s;

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Princy.
