Is there any difference between type? and Nullable?

Question

In C# are the nullable primitive types (i.e. bool?) just aliases for their corresponding Nullable type or is there a difference between th

Answer 1

No difference. Take a look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1t3y8s4s.aspx

"The syntax T? is shorthand for Nullable, where T is a value type. The two forms are interchangeable."

Answer 2

Null primitives are just regular primitives wrapped in Nullable. Any appearances to the contrary are just the compiler and syntactical sugar.

Answer 3

If you look at the IL using Ildasm, you'll find that they both compile down to Nullable<bool>.
