Remarks
The Script component developer does not use the ScriptBuffer class directly, but indirectly, through the derived classes in the BufferWrapper project item that represent the component's input and outputs.
The developer does not have to use the IsNull method, because the derived classes contain a <ColumnX>_IsNull property for each column.
Examples
The following sample code from the autogenerated BufferWrapper project item demonstrates how the Script component uses the IsNull method.
Public Property [city_IsNull] As Boolean
Get
Return IsNull(1)
End Get
Set
SetNull(1)
End Set
End Property
