Nice piece by Wesner Moise on using using Empty Arrays vs. null.

Microsoft guidelines recommend developers to avoid using nulls for returning arrays or strings inside managed code. Instead, the empty string should be returned for strings, and an empty array should be returned for arrays.

It's the little things that can make an API easier to use. Thanks for the great explanation.
