selenium webdriver ijavascriptexecuter executescript argument types

I am looking at the selenium-webdriver API for .NET at http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/dotnet/index.html. For the arguments on IJavaScriptExecutor.ExecuteScript, it states that 'For a number, a Int64 is returned'. What do I need to do if I want to pass a decimal (in/out) with this method? The Java bindings, for example, currently support both decimal and non-decimal types.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Vaibhav

Since I can't answer my own question, I am editing the question. I ran the following code to do test the argument types that can be passed to the ExcecuteScript method.

try
{
    IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
        string script = "return arguments[0];";
    double d = 15.009;
    float f = 13.2f;
    decimal dec = 0.2m;
    int i = 8;
    object value = ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(script, new object[] { dec });
    driver.Close();
    driver.Quit();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{}

The above code throws an exception 'Argument is of an illegal type 0.2 Parameter name: arg'. But the other values (double/float/int) can be passed and the return value is same as passed. The double should serve my purpose for now. I was worried that the webdriver would convert my double into Int64 when passed through that method. I think the documentation needs to be revised.

Thanks, Vaibhav

So the solution would be to use float instead of decimal.

Then cast float parameters to object and cast returned object to float.
