I'm retrieving different custom and default user properties from the my sites profile in a webpart.

The Problem is, if i'm trying to retrieve profile information which hasn't been set yet the webpart throws a System.NullReferenceException.

How can i check if the property is set to work around that problem?

Sorry, doesn't work. Debugger jumps not in the if-clause.. don't know why :/ Looks like this:if (u[property] == null) { result = String.Empty; } else { result = u[property].Value.ToString(); } – Peter Sep 13 '11 at 10:22
