Getting integer from decimal

[Steve Peterson]

Hello

I have a method that returns a decimal. I need to get the lowest integer
value from this decimal. For example from "4.9764" I need to get "4", or
from "13.134" I need "13". Is there a .Net method I can use to do this? If
not, maybe someone throw me a tidbit of code to so this..

TIA
Steve

theInteger = CInt(theValue)

Steve,

Depending on how you need to handle negative numbers, you might use the INT
function or the FIX function.

Take a look at 'Int', 'Fix', and 'Math.Floor'.

Hi, this is from the MSDN library that might help to clarify things:

When the fractional part is exactly 0.5, CInt and CLng always round it to
the nearest even number. For example, 0.5 rounds to 0 and 1.5 rounds to 2.
CInt and CLng differ from the Fix and Int functions, which truncate, rather
than round, the fractional part of a number. Also, Fix and Int always return
a value of the same type as is passed in.
