asp.net-3.5

I have browsed thru other postings on S/O, but I can't find a solution that works for me.

I have a datareader that might return a null value, and if so, I want to value to equal blank

txtMiddleName.Text = rdrGetUserInfo.GetString(1) ?? "";

The string above does not work. When I walk thru the code, the code jumps to my error trapping block;

Any ideas?
