Introduction to .NET Framework 3.0/Nullable Types
Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
.NET 3.0 supports nullable data types. Previously, nullification of only 'int' values were supported by .NET. However, this addition comes as a big boon to developers who might find it easy even to have 'null date-time' values and the kind. Values might be nullifed in .NET by placing a '?' after the datatype name in the variable declaration
Examples
int? num = null;
DateTime? dt = null;
Note: Nullable support is available since .Net 2.0
