Dear Microsoft,

Why are you changing the rounding behaviour from your MS Office products =
(MS Excel is rounding scientific and not like a bank)?
And why - even if you change that behaviour - are you not supporting the =
"old" rounding engine in a separate or overloaded method somewhere in =
the great space of the .NET galaxy?

Most times when I want to round some doubles, they are not currency =
values! They are needed for some program logic and have to been rounded =
"scientific" - I would say "normal". Do all we programmers really have =
to implement our own rounding function again and again?

Buhuuuu*snivel*
Jochen

hmm, i'm not a dotnet expert, but this is usually solved by adding 0.5 =
to it and truncating it to an integer.
something like:

Convert.ToInt32( x + 0.5)=20

maybe?

p.s: pay attention to negative numbers. i'm not sure what behaviour you =
want for negative numbers.
