If you only want to strip the quotes from the ends of the string (not the middle), and there is a chance that there can be spaces at either end of the string (i.e. parsing a CSV format file where there is a space after the commas), then you need to call the Trim function twice...for example:

string myStr = " \"sometext\"";     //(notice the leading space)
myStr = myStr.Trim('"');            //(would leave the first quote: "sometext)
myStr = myStr.Trim().Trim('"');     //(would get what you want: sometext)
