Hello there! 

 

could someone please explain the difference and what I should check for? 

Just do:

(Entity.IsValid())
and
(Entity)

Entity.IsValid() makes sure that, well, it's a valid entity.

Entity will check if the entity still exists and if the entity is null.

Always use Entity.Exists(). This is an extension method and thus will not crash if Entity is null. It calls Entity.IsValid if the entity is not null.

 

Entity also has an implicit boolean operator that automatically calls Entity.Exists().

Okay, that makes sense, thank you!

I havent had any issues switching to just if (entity) and using the implicit operator, it checks both ==null and .Exists() quite nicely.
