public decimal dePrice;

I am using above code for passing dePrice= 230.00125 but i receive dePrice = 230.0012 at Other end though TCP Socket, so how can i get actual value without changing datatype?

What is the data type on the receiving end?
Maybe the problem lies there.

Maybe the currency type for your cultures currency has a limit to four decimals? Try sending it without MarshalAs or Marshal as decimal and see what you get.

It looks Currency numbers are rounded to four decimal places (see, for instance this MSDN[^] page). I suggest you using the Decimal[^] data type instead.

There is Decimal (I have already suggested you it).
