Remarks

A NullableString type can sound very strange because System.String is a Reference-Type and it can already be null (Nothing in Visual Basic). Anyway a NullableString parameter (or field or property) explicity states that a Null value is welcome: you wont get an ArgumentNullException passing Null to a NullableString method parameter (or field or property). Moreover NullableString permits to treat Null values for a String like for any other type of NullableTypes.
