string.IsNullOrEmpty() vs string.NotNullOrEmpty()

Question

I\'m curious if any developers use string.IsNullOrEmpty() more often with a negative than with a positive

e.g.

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty())

Answer 1

Personally I prefer to cater for the non negated scenario first. It just makes sense to me to do the true part first and then the false. Comes down to personal style.
