Edit Question
Title
Body
I would like to prevent further processing on an object if it is null. In the following code I check if the object is null by either: if (!data.Equals(null)) and if (data != null) However, I receive a NullReferenceException at dataList.Add(data) . If the object was null, it should never have even entered the if -statement! Thus, I'm asking if this is proper way of checking if an object is null: public List<Object> dataList; public bool AddData(ref Object data) bool success = false; try { // I've also used "if (data != null)" which hasn't worked either if (!data.Equals(null)) { //NullReferenceException occurs here ... dataList.Add(data); success = doOtherStuff(data); } } catch (Exception e) { throw new Exception(e.ToString()); } return success; } If this is the proper way of checking if the object is null, what am I doing wrong (how can I prevent further processing on the object to avoid the NullReferenceException)?
