Just found this precious gem in the legacy code I am maintaining! How do you check if a string is empty :-D ?

lol, and in c#?

@viking8 yes, in C# :-D

if(developersHead.IsNullOrEmpty()) ...

What was the original C# and .Net Framework version?

Probably ported from old vb script code.

That construct was quite common when having data from a database that could be null.

Null in vbscript is called "nothing" butmost example code used + "" to convert the nothing into empty string before comparison.
