在C#中确定未修剪的字符串是否为空,最有效的方式是什么？

我有一个字符串可能在其周围有空格字符,我想检查它是否基本上是空的.

有很多方法可以做到这一点：

1  if (myString.Trim().Length == 0)
2  if (myString.Trim() == "")
3  if (myString.Trim().Equals(""))
4  if (myString.Trim() == String.Empty)
5  if (myString.Trim().Equals(String.Empty))

我知道这通常会是过早优化的一个明显的例子,但我很好奇,有一个机会,这样做会有足够的表现影响.

那么哪些是最有效的方法？

有没有什么更好的方法我没有想到？

似乎有一些非常有效的方法,最有效率取决于我需要处理的字符串的内容.

如果我无法预测字符串(我不能在我的情况下),Jon的IsEmptyOrWhiteSpace方法似乎通常更快.

感谢您的投入.我要选择安迪的答案是“正确的”,因为他应该为他所投入的努力提高声誉,而乔恩已经拥有十亿的声誉.

并使用代码：

public void Main()
{

    string res = string.Empty;

    for (int j = 0; j <= 5; j++) {

        string myString = "";

        switch (j) {

            case 0:
                myString = "";
                break;
            case 1:
                myString = "  ";
                break;
            case 2:
                myString = "x";
                break;
            case 3:
                myString = "x ";
                break;
            case 4:
                myString = "this is a long string for testing triming empty things.";
                break;
            case 5:
                myString = "this is a long string for testing triming empty things. ";

                break;
        }

        bool result = false;
        Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();

        sw.Start();
        for (int i = 0; i <= 100000; i++) {


            result = myString.Trim().Length == 0;
        }
        sw.Stop();


        res += "ticks: " + sw.ElapsedTicks + Environment.NewLine;
    }


    Console.ReadKey();  //break point here to get the results
