nullreferenceexception

In my Dispose methods (like the one below), everytime i want to call someObj.Dispose() i also have a check for someObj!=null.

Is that because of bad design on my part? Is their a cleaner way to ascertain that Dispose of all the members (implementing IDisposable) being used in an object is called without having a risk of NullReference exception ?

protected void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing)
            {
               if (_splitTradePopupManager != null)
                {
                    _splitTradePopupManager.Dispose();
                }
             }
        }

Thanks for your interest.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
