Hello,

Does someone know why the following code give wrong results?

*************************
   Double import = -1154.34;
   import +=  945.67;
   import += 208.67;
   MessageBox.Show(import.ToString());
*********************************
In the MessageBox I get -2.8421709430404E-14 instead of 0.

Thanks,

Jose Maria Sanmartin
