The answer; you can't. period.

Object obj = null;
if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(obj))
{
//do something
}

obj = "";
if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(obj))
{
//do something
}

if (obj == null)

namespace YourNamespace
{
    public static class ExtensionMethods
    {
        public static bool IsNullOrEmpty(this Object obj)
        {
            if (obj == null)
                return true;
            // Do your emtpy magical check here and return a bool indicating the result - I have no idea how!
        }
    }
}

i'm communicating wiht a remote sever and i get a datetime as a long value, is there any method that converts the long to datetime directly...

I are Troll

DateTime localTime = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc).AddMilliseconds(unixTime).ToLocalTime();

dateTime = DateTime.TryParseExact(s, "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out dateTime);
