Xperimentality

I just ran across something I guess I have just been missing in playing with the 2.0 framework: The coalescing operator! I love this. Not sure how I have been missing this one. I am a big fan of using something like:

Textbox.Text = (str == null) ? "N/A" : str;

as opposed to using a conditional block. But I just found that I can use:

Textbox.Text = str ?? "N/A";

It is the simple things that make me the happiest! Well, on to finding more things that I have not discovered yet...
