Greetings,
We are using an up/down control to facilitate numeric data entry,
however, we are noticing issues converting from the up/down value
(apparently a Decimal) to the units we are working with (Double) and
vice versa. There appear to be precision issues, and then we take those
numbers and scale them according to our application requirements.
Needless to say, the results are anything but what we might expect. We
could be doing some wacky scaling, but notwithstanding that, is there
anything we can do to help clean up the conversion between Decimal and
Double? Or is the answer to provide a control that better-supports a
Double-compatible input? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in
advance.
Regards,
Michael Powell
