The # symbol

[Civil3DReminders_com]

The # symbol is used in a lot of the samples provided with the program. What does it mean? Searching for the # symbol doesn't work very well using Google or help

Example from the subassembly vb code:
Private Const MaxCutHeightDefault = 10.0#
Private Const BenchWidthDefault = 5.0#

That is VB(A)'s way of showing the number is a Double.

From the VB.NET help:
"Type Characters. Appending the literal type character R to a literal forces
it to the Double data type. Appending the identifier type character # to any
identifier forces it to Double."

You can test this in VBA.

Dim x as Double

x=5.00

Entering the above, the IDE will automatically change the 5.00 to 5#
