  Null Values?

  Dec 18, 2012 08:58 AM|LINK

  Hi --

  I would like to convert the following

  public static String CleanEmptyString(String value)
          {
  
              if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
                  value = value.Replace("\0", String.Empty);
  
  
              return String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) ? String.Empty : value;
          }

  ...and have it return a SPACE rather than a null value.  I realize this is fairly simple.  Can someone help me out? 

  Thanks.

  Cindy

  Just change the return statement to this:

  return String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) ? " " : value;
