Hi!
Has anybody seen that behaviour yet which is produced by MS .Net?
When rounding doubles to integer, there is a rounding error:
        Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToInt32(1.5)) 'is 2  - should be 2
        Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToInt32(2.5)) 'is 2  - should be 3
This may be important for those guys who are programming in that area.
