The keyword null represents a null literal. A null value indicates that a reference points to no object.
Examples:
1
2
3
4
5
| object o1 = null ; if (o1 == null ) Console.WriteLine( "Yup, it's null" ); string s1 = null ; // Strings can also be null int n1 = s1.Length; // Throws NullReferenceException, since s1 doesn't point to anything |
