FlattenWorker throws NullReferenceException with null values

[charliehayesmps]

The first line in the FlattenWorker method: Type t = item.GetType();

Throws a NullReferenceException when the value of the property being flattened is null.

It should probably do a null check on item and just add null or empty string to the List vals parameter.

I can fix that. Would you like me to deploy a new nuget package, or are you just pulling from the sources directly?

I'm curious what System.Type you're passing to FlattenWorker? If it's non-trivial, I can add a test case for it.

I'm passing a complex type in but the actual property it's choking on is just a string.

I'm using NuGet; I've worked around the problem by adding ?? string.empty to all the strings in my linq query.

Fixed, updated nuget feed.
