slightly OT: visual c++ and null values

hello!

our developers here are requesting that I put defaults (' ' for chars/varchars, 0 for numbers, etc) in place instead of nulls in all columns that would supposedly allow null values... they are using visual c++ and they say that they cannot make visual c++ retreive null values...
i am very hesitant in implementing this... i have no knowledge whatsoever of visual c++ and don't know if this is true...

i'd like to know if anyone had encountered this same problem before? or maybe someone can tell me if there is any truth to what our developers are saying...
