As far as I know, there is no real data type in .Net.

You need to use double or decimal if you don't want your floating point values to overflow.

The number you show is formatted as scientific notation or "E" format.
To display it differently you need to explicitly do it yourself.
A few examples :
- number.ToString("<yourFormat>") http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6103431.html[^]
- FormatNumber (http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_net_format_number.html[^])
