At first glance, it doesn’t look to be the case as seen below; Decimal zero = Decimal .Zero; Decimal negativeZero_1 = new Decimal (0, 0, 0, true , 0); Decimal negativeZero_2en-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bclteam/archive/2006/10/12/decimal-negative-zero-representation-lakshan-fernando.aspx#8436214Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:16:46 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8436214Sorting it all Out<p>The weirdness is easily noted if you try the following code in both .NET &amp;lt;= 1.1 and .NET &amp;gt;= 2.0:</p> <img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8436214" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bclteam/archive/2006/10/12/decimal-negative-zero-representation-lakshan-fernando.aspx#7794874Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:01:13 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:7794874Sorting It All Out<p>Somewhere in between zero and the smallest possible negative number there lies another number.
