Re: Tough question on database NULLs.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

When a function is JIT compiled, the compiler 'interns' all the strings in
it and uses a single instance of each unique hard coded string for that
function. Empty strings are replace for string.Empty at this point. The
reason string.Empty exists is because string is a reference type, it saves
memory only having one copy of an empty string object in memory.

There are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary,
and those that don't.

PS: use == String.Empty in lue of == ''

I've heard this recommendation before. What is its rationale?
