Extra space in database when data is entered

V

I have a problem with ASP.NET and entering data into a MS SQL database.
I have the following

code and what happens is the data gets into the database, but with one
extra space at the end of

the entry. Is this preventable with something other than a trim in my
stored procedure? I know this is not necessarily in ASP.NET because I
returned the value with quotes around it and it shows up right, but
when I look in the database, it is wrong. I think it is with the SQL
Server.

What are the SQL data types in this table? Are they char (fixed
length) or varchar (variable length). If they are char, then your
entries will likely be padded with spaces unless they are of the exact
length as the column length.

In ASP.NET. That way the parameter types in your command object will
match the sproc parameter types.
