I want to correct Round function

[nomenklatura]

Hi,
System.Math.Rou nd function is confused me.
for example i want to round 3.245 in with decimal symbol
Result should be = 3.25

When i try to this in vb:
A = 3.245
X = Round(A, 2)
then x=3.24 , result is is false

But when i try to A = 3.235
X = Round(A, 2)
then x=3.24 , result is true

So how can i trust this function.
Or are there any true round function which you know?
Not: Normally , I want to round with two decimal place (>=5 is round up, <5
is round down)

Nomenklatura,

I think you can trust the Round method to always act according to the
documentation:

"If value is halfway between two numbers, one of which is even and the other
odd, then the even number is returned."

"The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind
of rounding is sometimes called rounding to nearest, or banker's rounding."

Kerry,

"If value is halfway between two numbers, one of which is even and the
other
odd, then the even number is returned."

"The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This

rounding."

I am curious where this is used beside banking.

Is this standard used in your country and when yes, from what country are
you?

In this instance, add 0.005 and truncate. I would suggest writing your own
round function to handle various decimal places (e.g., MyRound, or
whatever).

One caveat -- be careful using FormatNumber since it returns a character
string rather than numeric. If you have to do further computation with your
(rounded) number, you will need to convert it back to a numeric.

I am in Turkey.
We pass new Currency unit at new year.. (TL->YTL).
http://www.ytl.gen.tr/ytl/index_eng.php
The Ministry of Finance want to round this format..
That is not important odd or even..

And still i couldn't use round function..

nomenklatura,
It appears that VS.NET 2005 (aka Whidbey, due out later in 2005) adds
overloads to Math.Round to support current "banker's rounding" or the more
conventional "round up".

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/ef48waz8.aspx

Otherwise as squig suggests you probably want to create your own rounding
routine if "banker's rounding" is not appropriate for your routine...

Hope this helps
Jay

i solved with FormatNumber functions
thanks all

That is round-toward-even and I wish everyone would use it (it is more
accurate). Unfortunately, it is even harder than converting people to metric
systems. :(
