Most efficient way to check for DBNull and then assign to a variable?

if (row["value"] != DBNull.Value)
 {
      someObject.Member = row["value"];
 }

row["value"] == DBNull.Value; // Or
  row["value"] is DBNull; // Or
  row["value"].GetType() == typeof(DBNull) // Or... any suggestions?

object valueHolder;
  if (DBNull.Value == (valueHolder = row["value"])) {}

row["value"] == DBNull.Value: 00:00:01.5478995
row["value"] is DBNull: 00:00:01.6306578
row["value"].GetType() == typeof(DBNull): 00:00:02.0138757

row["Value"] == DBNull.Value: 00:00:12.2792374
