If you're using traditional string parsing methods, then the static method Char.IsWhiteSpace() is useful for determining whether a particular character is classified as white space or not:

Alternatively, if you're using regular expressions, there's a special metacharacter '\s' to match white space and another one '\S' to match any other character:
