I have a bunch of strings I need to use .Trim() on, but they can be null. It would be much more concise if I could do something like:
string endString = startString !?? startString.Trim();
Basically return the part on the right if the part on the left is NOT null, otherwise just return the null value. I just ended up using the ternary operator, but is there anyway to use the null-coalescing operator for this purpose?
