I'm not sure if this is correct and if my check in the code
if (SiteID == null || md.SiteID == SiteID )
memberList.Add(md);
is correct now.
For strings null works great, but what should I use for integers? I may use some arbitrary number as default, say, -3200000, but is it correct?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
