How to prevent 2.6 rounding off to 3 in visual basic?

I am working on a program and the only problem i am facing is that a decimal like 2.6 is being rounded off to 3 or any other number like 1.7 is being rounded off to 2. How can I make it to round 1.6 off to just 1?

Any help will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You are looking for Math.Floor Method (Double) as of from .NET Framework 2.0

Examples: 

Floor(2.10) = 2
Floor(2.00) = 2
Floor(1.90) = 1
Floor(1.80) = 1
Floor(1.70) = 1
Floor(1.60) = 1
Floor(1.50) = 1
Floor(1.40) = 1
Floor(1.30) = 1
Floor(1.20) = 1
Floor(1.10) = 1
Floor(1.00) = 1

That feature is called "Truncate". There's a Math.truncate() function. From the docs:

Dim decimalNumber As Decimal

decimalNumber = 32.7865d
' Displays 32      
Console.WriteLine(Math.Truncate(decimalNumber))

decimalNumber = -32.9012d
' Displays -32
Console.WriteLine(Math.Truncate(decimalNumber))
