Shorthand for nested null checking C#

Question

As far as I know there is not a significantly more elegant way to write the following....

string src;
if((ParentContent!= null)
    &&am         


        

Answer 1

Correct me, if I am wrong, but this could be solved using C# 6.0's null-conditional operator:

string src = ParentContent?.Image("thumbnail")?.Property("src")?.Value;

If src is already in used before this value assignment, you could use it as follows:

string src = ....;

// ...

src = ParentContent?.Image("thumbnail")?.Property("src")?.Value ?? src;

// ...
