Hello,

I am getting a record as follows:
User user = _context.Users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id ==
task.User.Id);

How can I make user to be null if no user is found with such an id.
At the moment I get an exception ... If I use only First I also get an
exception.

Thanks,
Miguel

Doesn't user come back null on the 'Default'? That's what the
FirstorDefault does is set the object to null if criteria not found.

if (user !null)
{
do something with object
}
else
{
do something if object is null
}
