Answer 1

Use this:

    [DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull=false)]
    public string RuString { get; set; }

OR

    private string _RuString;
    public string RuString {
        get {
            return this._RuString ?? "";
        }
        set {
            this._RuString = value ?? "";
        }
    }
