    How do I check if a richtext area is empty?

    I have a rich text area called "preferredExperience" and I only want to show it if it has data.

    I tried 

    @if (@Model.Value("preferredExperience") != null)
{
<h1>Preferred Experience</h1>
<p>@Model.Value("preferredExperience")</p>
}

    and 

    @if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(@Model.Value("preferredExperience")))
{
    <h1>Preferred Experience</h1>
    <p>@Model.Value("preferredExperience")</p>
}

    but the title (H1) is always showing.. Can someone tell me what is the correct way to check for empty/Null?

    Hi Yaco,

    Can you try this.

        var text = Model.Value<IHtmlEncodedString>("preferredExperience");
var hasText = text != null && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(text.ToString()));

if(hasText)
{
<h1>Preferred Experience</h1>
@text
}

    I tested @if (Model.HasValue("preferredExperience")) and it worked well.

    Thank you both
