public static bool IsNull(this object value) { return value == null; } and public static bool IsNull2(object value) { return value == null; } >>> System::Web::Mvc::IronRuby::Extensions::ObjectExtensions.is_null nil :0: can't convert NilClass into Object (TypeError) >>> System::Web::Mvc::IronRuby::Extensions::ObjectExtensions.is_null2 nil => true I've commented the issue on codeplex but couldn't change the title of the bug. --- Author of IronRuby in Action (http://manning.com/carrero) Andy Warhol <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/andy_warhol.html> - "I am a deeply superficial person."
