What is wrong with Math.Round() in VB.Net?

Hers a quick function you can add to simplify your life and make it so you don't have to type so much all the time.

 Private Function roundd(dec As Decimal)
    Dim d As Decimal = dec
    Dim r As Decimal = Math.Ceiling(d * 100D) / 100D
    Return r
End Function

Add this to your application then use the function

roundd(3.624)

or whatever you need.

to display the result - example

msgbox(roundd(3.625))

This will display a messagebox with 3.63

Textbox1.text = roundd(3.625)

this will set textbox1.text - 3.63 etc. etc. So if you need to round more then one number, it won't be so tedious and you can save alot of typing.

Hope this helps.

Try this.

Dim d As Decimal = 3.625
    Dim r As Decimal = Math.Ceiling(d * 100D) / 100D
    MsgBox(r)

This should do what you want.

Math.Round uses banker's rounding by default. You can change that by specifying a different MidPointRounding option. From the MSDN:

Rounding away from zero

Midpoint values are rounded to the next number away from zero. For example, 3.75 rounds to 3.8, 3.85 rounds to 3.9, -3.75 rounds to -3.8, and -3.85 rounds to -3.9. This form of rounding is represented by the MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero enumeration member. Rounding away from zero is the most widely known form of rounding.

Rounding to nearest, or banker's rounding

Midpoint values are rounded to the nearest even number. For example, both 3.75 and 3.85 round to 3.8, and both -3.75 and -3.85 round to -3.8. This form of rounding is represented by the MidpointRounding.ToEven enumeration member.

Rounding to nearest is the standard form of rounding used in financial and statistical operations. It conforms to IEEE Standard 754, section 4. When used in multiple rounding operations, it reduces the rounding error that is caused by consistently rounding midpoint values in a single direction. In some cases, this rounding error can be significant.

So, what you want is:

Math.Round(32.625, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
Math.Round(32.635, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)

As others have mentioned, if precision is important, you should be using Decimal variables rather than floating point types. For instance:

Math.Round(32.625D, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
Math.Round(32.635D, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)

Try this (from memory):

Math.Round((32.635), 2, MidPointRounding.AwayFromZero)
