Tried this:

but doesn't work.

You can't. When using a void initializer the actual value is garbage until initialized properly, and that garbage can look like anything including a valid instance.

So if the flow of your program can't guarantee that the value has been initialized at a certain point, you'll have to track it yourself some way. Nullable may be of help:
