I've recently discovered that:
if (Foo() != null)
{ mymethod(); }
can be rewritten as
Foo?.mymethod()
Can the following be rewritten in a similar fashion?
if (Foo == null)
{ throw new Exception()}
ThrowIfNull(Void*, String) Throws an ArgumentNullException if argument is null .
In Java, a special null value can be assigned to an object reference. NullPointerException is thrown when program attempts to use an object reference that has the null value. These can be: Invoking a method from a null object.
Only throw an exception if it is truly an error. If it is expected behavior for the object to not exist, return the null. Otherwise it is a matter of preference. It certainly shouldn't be a matter of preference.
A NullReferenceException happens when you try to access a reference variable that isn't referencing any object. If a reference variable isn't referencing an object, then it'll be treated as null .
As of .NET 6 framework you can use the following ThrowIfNull
static Method:
void HelloWorld(string argumentOne)
{
ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(argumentOne);
Console.WriteLine($"Hello {argumentOne}");
}
