title: Checking for null before ToString()
body: <p>Here's the scenario...  </p>
  
  <pre><code>if (entry.Properties["something"].Value != null)
    attribs.something = entry.Properties["something"].Value.ToString();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>While effective and working correctly, this looks ugly to me.  If I don't check for a null before performing the ToString() then it throws an exception if the property was null.  Is there a better way to handle this scenario?</p>
  
  <p>Much appreciated!</p>
