What datatype is RTE?

Using Umbraco 7

Umbraco 7

I want to validate an RTE but I'm not quite sure what datatype it is.

For example, if I want to validate a textstring I do it like this:

 <td data-title="Adress">
                                @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(school.adress))
                                        {
                                        @school.adress
                                        }
                                        else
                                        {
                                        <text>&nbsp;</text>
                                        }
                            </td>

But for an RTE, I can't use !string because it's not a string.

How would the validation look like for RTE?

The RTE returns a IHtmlstring object.

So you need to do this :

<td data-title="Adress">
                                @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(school.adress.ToString()))
                                        {
                                        @school.adress
                                        }
                                        else
                                        {
                                        <text>&nbsp;</text>
                                        }
                            </td>
