    Getting integer from decimal

    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.
