Shortcut for "object == null"

[reschjo]

I very oftend use "if(Object == null) or if(Object != null)" in my sourcecode.
It would be great to have a shortcut like "if(?Object)" for that.
The return value would be "true" if the Object exists (not null) or "false" if the object doesn't exist (is null)

For the former you can use if (o is null). For the latter use if (o is object)

[HaloFour]

Or if (o is {}) which will work for checking that o is not null in C# 8.0 when that is released

And of course, when we get nullable reference types with C# 8, the need to scatter if (o is null) throughout the code should largely go away.

You can to use ?? ?: ?.
