First of all, you can't overload the != directly, only == (you get != from the == operation). Second, I would say:
if (xyz != null) Or if (!(xys == null)) Both are equivalent since you can only overload the == operator (of course the second one is just plain ugly I wouldn't really use it except to show this point).
