Best way to trim strings after data entry. Should I create a custom model binder?

I’m using ASP.NET MVC and I’d like all user entered string fields to be trimmed before they’re inserted into the database. And since I have many data entry forms, I’m looking for an elegant way to trim all strings instead of explicitly trimming every user supplied string value. I’m interested to know how and when people are trimming strings.

Displaying standard DataTables in MVC

Perhaps this is just completely wrong, but back in the days of Webforms you would return a Dataset which you would then bind to a grid. But now in MVC you’re not supposed to pass a datatable because you cannot serialize it and it’s technically passing objects into the View where it doesn’t belong? But how on earth am I meant to display data on a view?! I can’t use LINQ to SQL classes here since this is a pure in memory data structure.
