Variable declaration question mark

Question

I was looking at some existing code and stumbled across a variable declaration I didn\'t understand:

public foo as Boolean?

What does the quest

Answer 1

aah, no sooner did I post the question that I realised that it may signify that it can be nullable.

I tested in code and that seems to be the case.

Answer 2

It means a nullable Boolean.

Boolean?, or any other value type (number or struct), is shorthand for Nullable(Of Boolean).
