Basically, yeah. That's a good way to put it - it's doing an implicit trim.
The string going into the IsValid is a legit email, followed by some other characters - not just spaces. Those extra charactesrs *should* trip the validation and return false - but it's not. And even if it were spaces on the end, that should trip a false result as well. And yes, I also tend to trim strings as a general rule. But these are getting in due to doing bulk-inserts using SQL Server. Judah McAuley wrote: > I'm not entirely sure what you are considering as a bug here.
