First question post in StackOverflow and still alive it

When setting a form's opacity should I use a decimal or double?

I want to use a track-bar to change a form's opacity.

This is my code:

decimal trans = trackBar1.Value / 5000;
this.Opacity = trans;

When I try to build it, I get this error:

    Cannot implicitly convert type 'decimal' to 'double'.

I tried making trans a double, but then the control doesn't work. This code has worked fine for me in VB.NET in the past.
Answer

An explicit cast to double isn't necessary.

double trans = (double)trackBar1.Value / 5000.0;

Identifying the constant as 5000.0 (or as 5000d) is sufficient:

double trans = trackBar1.Value / 5000.0;
double trans = trackBar1.Value / 5000d;

In this tutorial, you will learn how to build an ASP.NET server control by creating a Hello World Control. Along the way, we'll review the fundamental process of server control development from scratch. Creating a Custom Control Project First, we need to create a new class library project to hold our custom controls. By creating the custom control in a separate class library, we can compile the project into a separate DLL and use the custom control in any application that requires it. Open your ASP.NET project with Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer. In Solution Explorer, right click the solution name, and select Add New Project from the context menu. In the Add New Project dialog box, choose the project type to be a Web project, and select ASP.NET Server Control as the template, like so:
