Visual Studio IDE tooltip meaning

While on Visual Studio (at least on version 2005) if you type
something line “new object(“ the moment you type the open parenthesis
character you get a tooltip that displays “object.Object”.

If you do it for nullables such as typing “new Nullable<int>(“ the
tooltip displays “int?.Nullable”.

My question is what’s the meaning of the tooltip text? In the case of
the nullable example, why does the tooltip displays “int?” then a dot
and then “Nullable”? What does that syntax means?

Thanks.
