null basically means no value. If you set a variablr to null, it won't carry a value.

Nothing is the key word for VB .Net and Null is for C#

do not care about the destructors at the beginning... destructors are used for memory fine tuning but basically they are not so often very useful. If you try to access a property of a null object you will get an error. so you have to be sure it' not null before using it or use try/catch to manage this in the catch. but most of the time you have to be sure it' is not null with a simple test : if xx == nothing.
