How useful is C#'s ?? operator?

Question

So I have been intrigued by the ?? operator, but have still been unable to use it. I usually think about it when I am doing something like:

var x = (someObje         


        

Answer 1

In your case you can create DefaultObject as a static property and use like below ...

var x = (someObject as someType ?? someType.DefaultObject).someMember;

Where your DefaultObject will return a static, read-only object.

Like EventArgs.Empty, String.Empty etc...
