I didn’t know about this C# 2.0 operator (??) until ReSharper suggested it as a replacement for a particular use of arithmetic if (?:) that I’d added to some code recently.  I already prefer C# to VB.NET because of its terse syntax and stricter compiler, so this discovery tipped the scales just that much more.

The most recent blog post Google coughed up for this operator is this one, from Aaron Zupancic.  Aaron links to another post that demonstrate its use for viewstate.
