Hello,

I'm sry if this is a repost of something I didn't see but I am having a little trouble understanding what a part of a line of code does:

 public DateTime? LastNudged { get; set; }

I understand that it is a property I'm just unclear to what the "?" does, if anything. I'll keep trying to find an answer but if anyone can give me a simple explaination or a point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.

The ? after a datatype makes it nullable.. That means, in your example, LastNudged can be a datetime or null.

The ? after a type name changes that type to a nullable type. In fact, it's a shortcut syntax for System.Nullable<T>.

Using your example:

public DateTime? LastNudged {get;set;}
//is the same as this:
public Nullable<DateTime> LastNudged {get;set;}

It's just a simpler syntax.

What that means is that it allows types that aren't naturally able to accept null to accept it. It's really just a wrapper class.
