You could convert to string (bleh) and strip the decimal out, then to int. Not the best approach, but it should work without any errors if you don't mind it using up more resources.

Since it contains amounts, it always has only two decimal digits that are significant. During the process I need to convert that double into an integer by removing the decimal point. For example, $78.59 should be converted to integer 7859 and $101.53 to 10153. in my code I have uint nIntAmount = (uint)(objMyObject.Amount * 100); The problem I am facing is that sometimes, very rarely, there is a rounding error that is introduced and the integer obtained is off by a cent (plus or minus). For example, this is a line that was traced in my log file: "Updating the batch with $137.89 as the amount in the transaction. This amount was converted to 13788." Can either of you suggest a different way to convert the amounts in integers without this nagging rounding error?
