Hi Barry,

you can't assign null to a "value" type such as int. You need to use the
nullable version, ie:
int? xxx = null;

lookup "nullable types" in the help file. ... I am not sure, but I think
that you would need to be on .Net v2.

In C# 2.0 you can use a nullable int:

private void setvalue(string s1, int? iVal)

You can pass either an integer value or null as the second argument.

In the method you use iVal.HasValue to determine if the nullable
variable has a value, and iVal.Value to get the value.
