Why does Math.Round(2.5) return 2 instead of 3?

Question

In C#, the result of Math.Round(2.5) is 2.

It is supposed to be 3, isn\'t it? Why is it 2 instead in C#?

Answer 1

Since Silverlight doesn't support the MidpointRounding option you have to write your own. Something like:

public double RoundCorrect(double d, int decimals)
{
    double multiplier = Math.Pow(10, decimals);

    if (d < 0)
        multiplier *= -1;

    return Math.Floor((d * multiplier) + 0.5) / multiplier;

}
