Infinite value? - C# / C Sharp

ORC

I've read somewhere that C# has an representation of the Infinite value but
don't remember where. I need to set a double to Infinite - how to do that?
dValue = Inf; ???

Will an old Visual Basic program that imports the data from my program be
able to understand the 'Infinite' value?

Thanks
Ole

Hi Ole,

You are looking for Double.PositiveInfinity or Double.NegativeInfinity.
I don't know if this is the same as the old Visual Basic infinity.

Just curious... what would such a value be used for in an application?
