Drop fractional part of a number?

[Dragon]

Helo,

There're so many methods for rounding in .NET, but I can't find any that
will just drop fractional part of a number, e.g: -3.9 => -3.

I tried:

CInt(-3.9)
Int(-3.9)
Math.Round(-3.9)
CType(-3.9, Integer)
Convert.ToInt32(-3.9)

But the all return me -4.

In C# it's simple: (int)-3.9 = -3. Is there any method to do this in VB.
NET?

Thanks.

Wow! Now I feel stupid.

Thanks Al.

Dragon,
In addition to the other comments:

It sounds like you want "Truncation" & not rounding.

Have you looked at the following functions:
- Decimal.Truncate
- Math.Ceiling
- Math.Floor
- Fix
- Int

Hope this helps
Jay
