I'm creating an XDocument using Linq-To-XML, like this:
Order order = GetOrder();
XDocument doc = new XDocument(
new XElement("purchaseOrder",
new XElement("Name", order.Name),
new XElement("Address", order.Address),
new XElement("Shipper", order.Shipper)
)
);
So sometimes an order will not have a Shipper, it will be null. In that case, I don't want to include the Shipper element at all.
How can I do that inline in my code when creating the doc?

04-Sep-2013Just check if the Shipper value is null. If it isn't, then add your element, otherwise just set it to null. A null value in the constructor translates to nothing added in its place.
