Whenever the result of an operation is a double I loose precision; here are some examples: double a = 1111.111111111; //a = 1111.1111111109999 OK converting from decimal double a = Convert.ToDouble(1111.111111111M); //a = 1111.111083984375 NOT OK result of addition double a = 1111.111111111; double b = 1111.111111111; double c = a + b; //c = 2222.22216796875 NOT OK double c = 2222.222222222; // c = 2222.2222222219998 OK Any idea why this happens? =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
