Forget IsNot, I want IsSomething
On my current main project, I'm stuck writing a lot of code like:
if not(x is nothing) then
Yes, it's VB.NET. And, no, I don't have choices.
You know what I really want? A function that looks at a object of any type and if its Nothing, dbNull.Value or String.Empty, return False, otherwise, return True.
At least
if IsSomething(x) then
would be less boring to write over and over and over again.
And no, I'm not in the mood to argue semantics about what nothing really means, either... unless you are Kiri-kin-Tha.
