The new String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace method

Published Fri, Apr 2 2010 21:56

It was only yesterday that I’ve noticed this new static method. As you probably expected from its name, the IsNullOrWhiteSpace method will only return true for a null string or for a string which contains only white-space chars (ie, tabs, spaces, etc). Small but handy addition.

I would prefer one like IsNullOrTrimEmpty . That way no matter the number os spaces I would get true. :) You gotta love extension methods :D

I guess that would probably be better...btw, how do extension methods help here? (or are you thinking in using an extension method call after checking for the IsNullOrWhiteSpavce method?)
