Reading/Writing empty String

[wilberolive]

I have a class that has a String variable in it. Some instances of the class have the String set to something, but other instances just have it set to an empty string (i.e. "").

When I write the list of instances of this class to a LiteDB, I'm finding that the ones with an empty string are being written as [NULL]. So when I read them back from the database, these instances have Nothing in their String variable instead of "". This then causes a problem in my application which is not expecting the String variable to have a value of Nothing.

I know I could just check for Nothing, but I'm looking for a better solution that to have to check for Nothing every single time. Is there a way to either have LiteDB read an empty string instead of Nothing or is there a way I can inject and empty string inplace of Nothing when the class instances are loaded?
