     .NET follows IEEE 754 which specifies round to nearest as round to =
even.  3.45 rounds to 3.4.  3.55 rounds to 3.6.  You can look up IEEE = 754
on the web if you are not familiar.

    i feel all dirty for making a post so pro microsoft like i did =
before (in
    the anti MS rant thread.)  they really are evidence of the adage: =
absolute
    power corrupts absolutely.

    so i just got this from one of the development vp's in my company, =
in an
    email entitled "only in Microsoft software."  i figured i would send =
it
    along, to help cleanse myself.

    .NET's Math.Round function rounds "down" 0.5 (i.e. 3.45 rounds to =
3.4)
    SQL Server's decimal-rounding rounds "up" 0.5 (i.e. 3.45 rounds to =
3.5)

    Another "win" for MS :(

    chad - feeling a little better now
