Following on from the thread "another generic query", what is the simplest way to implement Nullable(Of String) when that IS what you want.
E.g. You have a String property and setting it to any value, including Nothing, needs to be differentiated from its default value say. I decided to create Structure Box(Of T) Public Value As T End Structure Then I can use Nullable(Of Box(Of String)) which isn't that convoluted... Does Box exist somewhere in the framework? Is there a better way? Regards, Mark Hurd, B.Sc.(Ma.)(Hons.) PS The more complete solution I'm using is: Structure Box(Of T) Public Sub New(ByVal Value As T) Me.Value = Value End Sub Public ReadOnly Value As T End Structure ... Private SomeField As Nullable(Of Box(Of String))) = Nothing ... If SomeField.HasValue Then Use(SomeField.Value.Value) =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorĀ® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
