title: If the left operand to the ?? operator is not null, does the right operand get evaluated?
body: <p>I'm looking at using the <code>??</code> operator (null-coalescing operator) in C#. But the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173224.aspx" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a> at MSDN is limited.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My question:</strong> If the left-hand operand is not null, does the right-hand operand ever get evaluated?</p>
