I don't see a Double.Truncate but a Math.Truncate and that's not of much help because it returns a new double and not an integer. the rounding problem can reoccur when storing that new number...

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eddie Lascu Sent: 25 August 2008 06:28 PM To: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Converting doubles into integers without rounding errors Hello everyone, I have some objects that contain an amount field that is declared as double. 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?
