The following code example demonstrates the IsInfinity method.


' This will return "True".
Console.Write("IsInfinity(3.0 / 0) = ")
If Single.IsPositiveInfinity(3 / 0) Then
    Console.WriteLine("True.")
Else
    Console.WriteLine("False.")
End If


// This will return "true".
Console.WriteLine("IsInfinity(3.0F / 0) == {0}.", Single.IsInfinity(3.0F / 0) ? "true" : "false");


// This will return S"true".
Console::WriteLine( "IsInfinity(3.0F / 0) == {0}.", Single::IsInfinity( 3.0F / zero ) ? (String^)"true" : "false" );
