Greetings,

As a returnee to programming (last time in the 90's with Borland Pascal 5.5, stop laughing) I want to know the handiest way of comparing 2 numbers within 2 decimals.

As the origin of the data is a string (gps feed), I'm thinking along the line doing a Convert.ToDouble(sVar but not sure how to Implement string formats here.

The long way would be to search for the decimal point and then place the next 2 numbers in a single string and convert.ToInt and compare then but if possible want something a bit less code and brainpower consuming

Any Idea's welcome as this is my back to work project if I can pull this bit of software off.

Thanks,

BBB

Thanks, the 1st one would perfect, just dVar = Convert.Todouble(sVar) and use that Math.Round(dVar, 2)in the comparison between last and current position
