Here's some helper methods I've used for making System::Decimal a little
more palatable:
class Object
def to_clr_dec
System::Decimal.parse(self.to_s)
end
def to_clr_int
System::Int32.parse(self.to_s)
end
end
class System::Decimal
def + other
System::Decimal.Add(self, other)
end
def - other
System::Decimal.Subtract(self, other)
end
def * other
System::Decimal.Multiply(self, other)
end
def to_f
self.to_string.to_s.to_f
end
def inspect
to_f
end
end
FWIW I'd personally rather see "rubification" done this way, then in C#
libraries...
