How to safely handle null values in c # inline (ternary operator)

Answer:

you can handle this safely using the null-conditional operator (?.) with string.IsNullOrEmpty:

var x=string.IsNullOrEmpty(ViewModel.OccupationRefer?.ToString())? string.Empty: ViewModel.OccupationRefer.ToString();

Explanation:

• ViewModel.OccupationRefer?.ToString() -> returns null if OccupationRefer is null, avoiding errors.

• string.IsNullOrEmpty() -> checks if the value is null or empty.

• The ternary operator ? : -> assigns string.Empty if null, otherwise assigns the actual value.

This way, x will be an empty string if OccupationRefer is null, otherwise it will contain the value.

Tip: using the ?. operator is safer than calling.ToString() directly because it prevents a NullReferenceException.
