Decimals in C# -- Brian --

Any ideas of why this gives me:

"Error 1 'decimal.operator >=(decimal, decimal)': cannot explicitly call operator or accessor"
decimal left = new decimal(123.45);
decimal right = new decimal(22.22);
Decimal.op_GreaterThanOrEqual(left, right);

I'm just executing this in the main class.

You need to use:

int i = Decimal.Compare( Left, Right );

(I think)

I think it's simply because C# defines the >= operator on Decimal,
while Visual Basic defines the op_GreaterThanOrEqual operator. The same code converted to VB will work.

In any case, this is legacy VB, so you should use the Compare method as Peter suggested.
