SSRS deals with NULL via the IsNothing this is VB-sentric as SSRS is VB-based rather than SQL based when it comes to the underlying code.
So, saying IIF(IsNothing(Fields.MyField.Value),"1","0") would be the same as:
-- SQL
IF (Fields.MyField.Value IS NULL)
SET @X = "1"
ELSE
SET @X = "2"

A very simple but effective way to add to the end user's experience when using the report. Nicely done.
