Is it possible to get more decimal precision than the decimal type in C#? According to MSDN, the decimal type can store up to 29 significant digits, however I am wondering if it possible to store more than that and how to go about doing so.
Thanks in advance.
Sure – you can come up with your own data type (or use an existing third party library – the J++ runtime has an implementation of BigDecimal usable from C#).
What do you need that for? It is VERY unusual to need more than 29 significant digits 😉
