Double question mark(??) is not for the nullable type. See MSDN
The ?? operator returns the left-hand operand if it is not null, or else it returns the right operand.
And This is a kind of Immediate if statement in VB6(?) IIF.
nullable type is declaration using single question mark(?).

I hope I am correct .
