Hi, I have following value which I need to check wether it's null or not. Issue is that StartPrice itself can be a null and checking (myItem.StartPrice.Value == null) do not produce true. How do I check for null in this kind of case. I don't want to check StartPrice for null and then Value for null again as one option. I just want to check Value for null. Thanks, Greg
