title: remove &nbsp; from String in VB
body: <p>I have inserted a option in Dorpdown as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;option&gt;إختر&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/option&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I select this text from server side on any event I get this value
  "إختر       ‎"</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to replace this white space in the string. I have tried replace method of String class. But its not working. </p>
  
  <pre><code>str = str.replace("&amp;nbsp;","")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Plz suggest</p>
