Nothing Propagation

WinWrap® Basic scripts now supports "Nothing propagation". The ?., ?( and ?! operators allow the expression to the left of the operator to be Nothing. When that is the case, the result is Nothing.

However, when T is a value type (like Double) then the expression's result type is IsNullable<T>.

Use Nothing Propagation in WinWrap® Basic Scripts

  • Access a member of an object expression that might be Nothing (?. operator)
  • Access an array element of an array expression that might be Nothing (?( operator)
  • Access a dictionary item of a dictionary expression that might be Nothing (?! operator)
