Index was out of range in Blazor

Question

When searched for Location that doesn't exist timeZoneAtLocation[0] is [] and is throwing the below error .

Please suggest on how to check nulls.

Note : Replace

"My Bing Key"

with Bing Key.

timez = data3.resourceSets[0].resources[0].timeZoneAtLocation[0].timeZone[0].convertedTime.localTime;

Answer 1

I added another line and I able to trap exception

placename =data3.resourceSets[0].resources[0].timeZoneAtLocation[0].placename;
