trailing zero in Decimal

George2 · 06-09-2008, 04:19 AM

Hello everyone,

Mentioned here,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...al(VS.80).aspx

What means "The scaling factor also preserves any trailing zeroes in a Decimal number"? Could anyone show me a sample please?

thanks in advance,
George

It probably means that 1.23000 and 1.23 though computational equivalent, are different values for a decimal. They might be equal but will produce different outputs when .ToString()'ed.
