HI, which version of .net are you using to develop your code? If you are using version which is below .NET 2.0, then you will get error while assigning null value to value type in c#. After .Net 2.0 is is possible to assign null value to value type. You need to use following code to do this

System.Nullable<int> Num = new System.Nullable<int>;

Try this, This would work. I had used this many time.

Hello, I don't have that much idea about c#. But, yes you can do this. I think in c#2.0 one new type was introduced which is named as nullable type. By the help of which we can assign null value to the value type, as follows:

bool?flag=null;

But, first you need to check the flag value as follows:

if(!flag.HasValue)
{
   flag=true;
}
if((bool)flag)
{
  /*code*/
}

Hi, I don't think that this would be possible. I have not seen anything which will able to assign the null value to value type with the help of C#. I have only seen follwoing types:

Value types:
numeric data types,
Boolean, Char, and Date
All structures, Enumerations,
Byte, Short, Integer, or Long

Reference types:
String,
All arrays,
Class types,
Delegates

Hi, I dont think that you can assign null value to value type with the help of c#. Don't try to waste time by doing it. I don't have any knowledge about it. I have read many books but not able to read it yet. I don't think this would be possible.
