Retrieving Whole Number from a Decimal without Rounding? 5

[antonio622]

I have a variable declared as Single and I am trying to retrieve only the whole number without rounding up or down as in the following number:

3.959

I only want to assign 3 in the number above to another variable.

If I do this in code using format number and read only the whole number of course I get the value of 4.

Is there a command or procedure in VB.net to disable rounding off numbers in one instance?

And yet another method:

Dim a As Single = 3.42765
Dim b As Single
Dim c As Integer

b = a Mod 1 'the portion after the decimal
c = a - b 'the integer portion

MsgBox(a)
MsgBox(b)
MsgBox(c)
