Trim()
Removes all leading and trailing white-space characters from the current string.
Trim(Char)
Removes all leading and trailing instances of a character from the current string.
Trim(Char[]) Removes all leading and trailing occurrences of a set of characters specified in an array from the current string.
Look at the following example that I quoted from Microsoft's documentation page.
char[] charsToTrim = { '*', ' ', '\''};
string banner = "*** Much Ado About Nothing ***";
string result = banner.Trim(charsToTrim);
Console.WriteLine("Trimmmed\n {0}\nto\n '{1}'", banner, result);
// The example displays the following output:
// Trimmmed
// *** Much Ado About Nothing ***
// to
// 'Much Ado About Nothing'
