How Can an Integer Contain a Null Value?

[Guest]

Re: ...with NullableTypes

Yes this help. I'm primarely a C# programmers... I get
confuser about Nothing value VB.NET.

What I meant is that the Null value that NullableTypes let
you set to an int, a bool, a DateTime and to quite any .NET
built-in type is not the default value of that type (as
Nothing) but is a different value and is strong typed (a
Null int have a different type from a Null bool).

If you will have the opportunity to read the NullableTypes
documentation, please let me know if you find other
confusing statement for a VB.NET programmer.
