Hi.

I'm tring to write a method that can return any nullable primitive type, or a string. I.E.
public T Read<t>(string value)
{
   // read code
   //[...]

   if (someCondition)
     return null;

   return (T)obj;
}
</t>


The question is what condition I should impose on T to make it so that I can return null's and nullable primitives. I can't say "where T : nullable" as nullable is sealed and I can't say "where T : class" as nullable primitives aren't reference types.

Ideas?

Solution found - use return default(T) instead of null.
