Neo4jClient: decimal point dropped

Question

I'm having trouble using properties of type decimal in my program, which uses Neo4jClient to interact with my Neo4J server.

using System;
using Neo4jClient;

namespace TestProject
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            var graphClient = new GraphClient(new Uri("http://localhost:7474/db/data"));
            graphClient.Connect();

            const decimal socialFactor = 0.5m;

            var userIn = new User {Name = "John Doe", SocialFactor = socialFactor};
            var nodeRef = graphClient.Create(userIn);
            var userOut = graphClient.Get(nodeRef).Data;

            Console.WriteLine(userOut.Name + ", " + userOut.SocialFactor);
            Console.WriteLine(userOut.SocialFactor == socialFactor ? "win" : "fail!");
        }
    }

    class User
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public decimal SocialFactor { get; set; }
    }
}

What the program does is insert a user node with a social factor of 0.5 into Neo4j (userIn), and immediately retrieves the user node again (userOut). The problem is that userOut.SocialFactor is 5 instead of 0.5!

Strangely enough, when I change the type to double, there is no problem, but that's obviously something I don't want to do.

Is this a bug? Is there some kind of workaround?

Thanks, Jan

Turns out that yes, it was a bug but it was recently fixed in version 1.0.0.595 of Neo4jClient.
