I noticed the use of this operator ?
What's the meaning of it.

This is the coding that contained ?

txtCustomer.text = DR["CompanyName"] == System.DBNull.Value ? string.Empty : Convert.ToString(DR["CompanyName"]);

txtAddress.text =  DR["Address"] == System.DBNull.Value? string.Empty: Convert.ToString(DR["Address"]);

Thank you for your help.

The "?" is actually 1 part of the ?: ternary operator. Look at this documentation from MSDN for more information.

Unlike most of the other operators, this one is a little difficult to look up if your not familiar with it.

int i = (1 < 2) ? 1 : 2;

this is an inline assignment operator on basis of if condition. Value of variable i after execution will be 1.

Value = (condition)?<th en part>:<else part>;
