trim and pure apparently whitespace strings

has anyone encountered an apparently pure whitespace string (debug mode
mouse-over) that when TRIM'd does not result in a null-string ?

how to determine any special characters that may be present in the string ?trimming a string with just spaces will return an empty string ("") not a
null string (null)...

The easiest way to evaluate the string would be to write it to disk. Create
a file and write the string out, then analyse the file in a hex editor to
check for excape characters.

i was using "null-string" in the traditional sense of a reference to a
String datatype object that consists of 0 characters -- not a
"null-reference" (a reference to Nothing)

actually, i found this very useful function for discovering hidden
characters in a string:

Uri.HexEscape()

Trouble editing HTML Elements version 0.6

Hi
I just encountered something very weird. I opened an existing aspx fileto make some changes. When I click on an HTML element, such as a textbox, I get the open squares that say it is selected. The Propertieswindow opens up on the right but when I try to make any changes in thatwindow, the open squares become gray squares around the HTML element.Certain properties (e.g. Type) can be changed. Others such as ID cannot be changed. However I can go into the HTML code and make thechanges there. I am using version 0.6 of ASP.NET.
Any ideas on what happened? If it helps, I am working on the Guest Book example in Chapter 10 of Mike Pope's starter book.

version 0.6 of ASP.NET

As far as I know there has never been a ver. 0.6 of Asp.Net. You are either using ver. 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0. Are you perhaps talking about some kind of development tool here, like Visual Studio?

As far as I know there has never been a ver. 0.6 of Asp.Net.
When you ask for version number with Help->About the window thatpops up says version 0.6 build(812). This is what I downloaded from theasp.net download section.

What window is this? Asp.Net is part of the .NET Framework and does not come with an Interface. There are three versions of .NET; 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. Is it Web Matrix your are referring to??
Yes, it is Web Matrix that I am referring to. All I did was save myaspx file at a convenient stop point and shut down my system for thenight. The next day when I resumed working on the sample program, I noticed the weird behavior of not being able to edit some propertiesof the page elements when in the Design mode. And it is not just theexisting elements but any new elements that I add to the page.
