Description With the .NET Framework prior to V2.0 there was always a certain "gap" between the way in which the database allowed NULL as a possible value for every data type and the way in which the .NET type system did not. With .NET V2.0 this gap got closed and LINQ to SQL makes use of that in order to offer a natural way of dealing with DB NULLs from our .NET code. Here we take a very quick look.
