Math.Round. In .NET, the Math.Round function provides built-in logic. With the MidpointRounding enum we round with special options—away from zero, or to even.
Rounding output. Consider the Double 1.234. When we call the Math.Round function on it, we receive the number 1—the fractional part was rounded down.
1.234 -> 1
Example. This program calls Math.Round on the Double 123.45. To call Math.Round With no options, we use just one argument. This rounds the number to 123.
And With a second argument of 1, we round to one decimal place. This yields the values 123.5 (for AwayFromZero) and 123.4 (for ToEven).
Detail With a positive number, this option will round up—so 123.45 becomes 123.5.
Detail This will round to an even number—so 123.45 becomes 123.4 because 4 is an even number and 5 is not.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
' Call Math.Round on this Double.
Dim before As Double = 123.45
Dim after1 As Double = Math.Round(before, 1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
Dim after2 As Double = Math.Round(before, 1, MidpointRounding.ToEven)
Dim after3 As Double = Math.Round(before)
Console.WriteLine(before)
Console.WriteLine(after1)
Console.WriteLine(after2)
Console.WriteLine(after3)
Console.WriteLine()
' Use on this Decimal.
Dim before2 As Decimal = 125.101
Dim after4 As Decimal = Math.Round(before2)
Dim after5 As Decimal = Math.Round(before2, 1)
Console.WriteLine(before2)
Console.WriteLine(after4)
Console.WriteLine(after5)

Notes, program. We also use Math.Round on the Decimal type. These have the same results as the Double type. The Math Class supports many numeric types, including Double and Decimal and others.
Summary. Rounding functionality is available in .NET. It is not needed to develop custom Functions in most programs. We instead invoke the Math.Round Shared Function, with 1 to 3 arguments.
