Rounding with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003

Sep 21st, 2005

This is begining to bug me. I have googled it. I have searched this site and I still have not managed to get the rounding to work the way I want!

I have done the Math::Round() deal, I have tried System::Math::Round. I got desperate and looked to see what it would do depending on which ones were capitalized. All i get while capitalized is that they aren't a class/identifier. Undercase with the system::math::round approach I get a "fatal error c1001: internal compilier error" message.

The rounding thing ain't really needed for this assignment.. but it bugs me cause it looks really sloppy as is. I suppose posting the code would not hurt-

I imagine I am just missing something extremely stupid. And I don't need to have it... but I just get hung up on things. Once I try something I hang on tooth and nail to I get it done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated(as i said I am probably just overlooking something considering the time I have spent looking this problem up).
