Usage and Methods

1-Boolean

Over boolean data type, Not extention method is avaialbe and can be used like :

var result =  DoSomething()// return a boolean 
if (result.Not())
{
// do something
}

Wait! we have more for you.

2-String

Over string data type, there are two well-known and most used methods(IsNullOrEmpty and IsNullOrWhiteSpace) which help us to check string variables are null or empty. Sometimes programmer use condition like these :

string data = "";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty( data) || !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(data))
{
//do sth
}
    

By using Not you can rewrite above code and make it more readable like this:

string data = "";
if (data.IsNotNullOrEmpty() || data.IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace())
{
//do sth
}

3-ModelState

If you are developing Web Application, No doubt, validating input data is one of the basic action we always do and most of the time we use a code like below :

 if (!ModelState.IsValid) 
 {
 return View(model);// 
 }

so we can rewrite it like :

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Post(AddUserViewModel model)
{
   if (ModelState.IsNotValid())
   {
     return BadRequest();
   }
   //do sth
}
