title: Exclamation(!) operator used on a number in vb.net, what does this do?
body: <p>I'm looking at inherited code and I found this in a vb.net windows form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>New System.Drawing.SizeF(6.0!, 13.0!)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is, what is the significance of the <code>!</code> (exclamation) operator here? Most of my searching for the exclamation operator ends up returning recordset format or the <code>!</code> gets ignored in the search and I get hundreds of unrelated items.</p>
