How do you check a string for null? Well, there is very little difference between these coding methods.
if (testString == null)
or
if (testString is null)
or
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(testString))
Just remember that IsNullOrEmpty()
also checks for an empty string, so my recommendation is to utilize it.
