Fixed length decimal?

I have 2 attributes in a database table, both decimal with scale = 0, length
2 and 5.

How do I best do a property in VB for them? I would like fixed length
decimal.
The 2 attributes in the table has a computed column with datatype
character(7).

Is it possible to declare a sort of "redefines" on these properties, making
them accessible both as decimal(2) and decimal(5) and as character(7)?

Do a struct?
