Using Entity Framework to generate Stored Procedure results (TypedViews).

In this case, do we need to check if the result of the call is ever null?

Is this code safe:

var x = context.GetSomeThingTypedView()
use x

or do we need to:

var x = context.GetSomeThingTypedView()
if(x!=null)
     use x

This is more an EF question, but I don't see why it should return null according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb739018.aspx

Anyway you should test it, maybe asking for a TPV that you know returns 0 rows. It should return an object with 0 rows.
