C# Convert double to decimal

This is a workaround to Convert.ToDecimal(Double) limitation of 15 significant digits by using ‘R’ Round-trip Format Specifier.

Convert.ToDecimal Method (Double)
“The Decimal value returned by this method contains a maximum of 15 significant digits. If the value parameter contains more than 15 significant digits, it is rounded using rounding to nearest. The following example illustrates how the Convert.ToDecimal(Double) method uses rounding to nearest to return a Decimal value with 15 significant digits.”

decimal.Parse(dbl.ToString("R"))

public void ConvertDoubleToDecimal()
{
  Compare(1.00000000000006d,  1.00000000000006M);
  Compare(1.00000000000004d,  1.00000000000004M);
  Compare(1.000000000000066d, 1.000000000000066M);
  Compare(1.000000000000044d, 1.000000000000044M);
