Decimal.Round Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Rounds a Decimal value to a specified number of decimal places.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Round ( _
d As Decimal, _
decimals As Integer _
) As Decimal
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static decimal Round(
decimal d,
int decimals
)
Parameters
- d
Type: System.Decimal
A Decimal value to round.
- decimals
Type: System.Int32
A value from 0 to 28 that specifies the number of decimal places to round to.
Return Value
Type: System.Decimal
The Decimal number equivalent to d rounded to decimals number of decimal places.
Remarks
When d is exactly halfway between two rounded values, the result is the rounded value that has an even digit in the far right decimal position. For example, when rounded to two decimals, the value 2.345 becomes 2.34 and the value 2.355 becomes 2.36. This process is known as rounding toward even, or rounding to nearest.
Examples
The following code example rounds several Decimal values to a specified number of decimal places using the Round method.
' Example of the Decimal.Round method.
Module Example
Const dataFmt As String = "{0,26}{1,8}{2,26}"
' Display Decimal.Round parameters and the result.
Sub ShowDecimalRound(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal Argument As Decimal, ByVal Digits As Integer)
Dim rounded As Decimal = Decimal.Round(Argument, Digits)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(dataFmt, Argument, Digits, rounded) & vbCrLf
