# This Session was Intentionally Left Null?

In this session we’ll discuss relatively new Nullable types in C# 8.0 and above. Nullable types are both useful and nuisance as the well-intended feature causes compiler warnings while attempting to help ensure stability. We’ll discuss patterns and practices for handling nullable values as they relate to .NET, ASP.NET and Blazor applications. Get an understanding of when to use nullable, how to correctly handle compiler warnings, and how set proper default values.
