FXCop rule for "If X = Nothing" when X is an integer with zero value
1 Dim x as Integer? = Nothing
2 If x = Nothing Then
3 'this is what I think will happen
4 Else
5 'this is what really happens
6 End If
The correct way to write it is "If x is Nothing".
Is there an FXCop rule that checks this? Or better yet, can someone show me how to write my own?
