The value of this constant is negative 1.7976931348623157E+308.
The result of an operation that is less than Double.MinValue is Double.NegativeInfinity. In the following example, Double.NegativeInfinity results from subtraction and multiplication operations when the result is less than Double.MinValue.
Module Example Public Sub Main() Dim result1 As Double = -7.997e307 + -9.985e307 Console.WriteLine("{0} (Negative Infinity: {1})", result1, Double.IsNegativeInfinity(result1)) Dim result2 As Double = -1.5935e250 * 7.948e110 Console.WriteLine("{0} (Negative Infinity: {1})", result2, Double.IsNegativeInfinity(result2)) End Sub End Module ' The example displays the following output: ' -Infinity (Negative Infinity: True) ' -Infinity (Negative Infinity: True)
The following code example illustrates the use of MinValue:
Public Class Temperature Public Shared ReadOnly Property MinValue() As Double Get Return Double.MinValue End Get End Property Public Shared ReadOnly Property MaxValue() As Double Get Return Double.MaxValue End Get End Property ' The value holder Protected m_value As Double Public Property Value() As Double Get Return m_value End Get Set(ByVal Value As Double) m_value = Value End Set End Property Public Property Celsius() As Double Get Return (m_value - 32) / 1.8 End Get Set(ByVal Value As Double) m_value = Value * 1.8 + 32 End Set End Property End Class
