  Hi, i read 2 of your articles they are interesting. However, I can not figure out what or where the contents come from for the variable
  readonly string[] LowNames and how it is used. I would appreciate a short description.

  I'm not at all sure what this has to do with Strings, but the C# type for double precision binary floating point values is "double".
  

  
  See my article on floating point arithmetic for more information. It's at http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/floatingpoint.html
  (Sorry, the "insert link" button doesn't seem to work in Firefox.)

  Do you mean you don't know how the array is populated, or you don't know why I populated it with the names I did?
  

  
  To answer the first question - if you look at the code, you'll see there's a static field initializer:
  

  
  static readonly string[] LowNames =
  {
     "NUL", "SOH", "STX", "ETX", "EOT", "ENQ", "ACK", "BEL",
     "BS", "HT", "LF", "VT", "FF", "CR", "SO", "SI",
     "DLE", "DC1", "DC2", "DC3", "DC4", "NAK", "SYN", "ETB",
     "CAN", "EM", "SUB", "ESC", "FS", "GS", "RS", "US"
  };
  

  
  The names come from the man page for ASCII on a unix box
