why this (not set to an instance of an object ) error showing to me?

Question

I am trying to make this code work by checking if there is a movie id in the link so it will render different text than if there is no id

@if (Model.Movie.Id != null)

enter image description here

The important question here is: can `Model.Movie` itself be null? — cHao, Mar 26 '20 at 01:36
hmm when i tried it says Feature is not available in C# 7.3. Please use language version 8.0 or greater. — Edit316, Mar 26 '20 at 01:48

Your Model.Movie object must be null in some cases, attempting to check a property of a null value will throw that error.

You could try doing this instead so you check Movie and THEN check the id:

@if (Model.Movie != null && Model.Movie.Id != null)
