Variables declared as nullable types are colored red.

i don't recognise the concept of a nullable type. can you post a short code snippet to show me what you are doing? which IDE are you using? is this something new in C# 2?

Yup, it's a new concept in C# 2.0. To define an int, say, that can have the value of null you define it like this:

int? i = 5;
int? j = null;

so on. There are two operators to keep in mind: the nullable -- ? -- operaton, and the null coalescing operator -- ?? -- where

int j = i == null ? 5 : i;

is expressed as

int j = i ?? 5;

where i is a nullable int. There are some good codeproject articles on nullable types; might want to check them out.

when you say they are coloured red, if you mean that VA is underlining them with a red line to indicate a mistyped symbol then i am getting the same thing.

i have dabbled with C# in VS 2003 but have yet to look at C# in VS 2005. i will one of these days, i am sure

This is still broken in the general release. I was wondering if there is a plan to fix this anytime soon?

Thanks.

sorry, but no progress to report on this yet. there are quite a lot of outstanding bugs to address, so it is a case of working through them.

this thread should be updated when a fix is released.
