Been looking at a lot of post/articles about using Iif(). All of this started when I tried to use IIf() like a conditional operator much in the likes of C/C#/C++ etc.What I tried to do exactly was exactly in the lines of this of the following post:Using VB.NET IIF I get NullReferenceException
However, the solution I had implemented was borrowed from the following msdn site:

Here's the code:

The timer has to have a value or else the Timer.Stop() call would be throwing the exception. This is a sporadic error and I'm just trying to see if anyone has experienced this before or if anyone has any ideas of what could be causing it. It is occuring in a WinForms application in the event handler for the Elapsed event of the Timer, but it is only occuring sporadically on the users computer. I haven't been able to reproduce the error myself.
i have inherited some code form another developer who is using entityClient for a connection string. the web config entry looks like:
<add name="my_TESTEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/TEST.csdl|res://*/TEST.ssdl|res://*/TEST.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=myServer;Initial Catalog=TEST2;User ID=user_gg;Password=Aasdfasfasf;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"/>
what are the metadata files? i found them in the debug folder of the code i was given, do i need to point to them? do i need to move them somewhere else?

Code:
Dim DirInfo As IO.DirectoryInfo = Nothing
... some code ...
Me.Tag = DirInfo.FullName
In this code, DirInfo.FullName is sometimes null. So I put this code inside a Try Catch. Although it works fine but I see a System.NullReferenceException in Immediate Windows. I just want to prevent it.
So tried:
If DirInfo.FullName IsNot Nothing Then Me.Tag = DirInfo.FullName
If DirInfo.FullName <> Nothing Then Me.Tag = DirInfo.FullName
If DirInfo.FullName <> "" Then Me.Tag = DirInfo.FullName
But I still get this System.NullReferenceException! How should I check DirInfo.FullName so I prevent this exception?

And it is not all the time, but depending on how quick and stupid (i'm expecting stupid users, as usual) I click on the previous row or the AddNewRow row I get a the damn System.NullReferenceException on my If line:
If Not (IsNumeric(Result.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value) And Result.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value.ToString.Length = 4) Then I'm really not in the mood of just put a Try Catch, as it looks like bad programming in this case. I've already tried a couple variations with "is nothing" but no success?How could test it won't cause a Null exception before testing the row value?
