I doubt it. I think it rounds, just like CInt does.

If you want to decide whether to truncate or round it, then you should TELL it to. You can use the Math.Round function for example, and there's probably also a Math.Truncate function. You should never assume that VB does something if you are not telling it to. You should always tell it explicitly what to do.
