title: Is there a cleaner way to set null fields to "N/A"?
body: <p>I have 5 plus elements in a view. Is there a cleaner way to check for nulls and set the values if they are before saving in my controller? For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>string FN = viewModel.FirstName;
  if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(FN))
  {
      FN = "N/A";
  }
  //copy and paste for lastname
  //copy and paste for address
  //etc
  </code></pre>
