How could I avoid == null checking?

Question

Here is my code which is used widely in project, and I'm wondering can I refactor this somehow so I might avoid == null checks all the time?

 ActiveCompany = admin.Company == null ? false : admin.Company.Active

Thanks guys

Cheers

Answer 1

You can use the C# 6: Null-conditional Operator

ActiveCompany = admin.Company?.Active == true;

The comparison with true at the end "converts" the bool? to bool. You can also use the null coalescing operator to handle the null value as shown by Keith.

Answer 2

null coalescing operator chained with null conditional is useful for this kind of thing :-

ActiveCompany =  admin.Company?.Active ?? false
