In my code, is there a shorthand that I can use to assign a variable the value of a object's property ONLY if the object isn't null?
string username = SomeUserObject.Username; // fails if null
I know I can do a check like if(SomeUserObject != null) but I think I saw a shorthand for this kind of test.
I tried:
string username = SomeUserObject ?? "" : SomeUserObject.Username;
But that doesn't work.
