Self Taught not sure how to add decimals

[Ryker Wells]

So I am working this Decimal:

Dim PriceofDVD As Decimal = 1.0

every so often i add

 PriceofDVD += CInt((Amtbuyrice_nud.Value) * (0.03 * Overall))

so if it were 1 * 0.03 * 1 it comes out as += 0.03 but the price just stays at $1.00 and doesn't go to $1.03 also say it were 17 * 0.03 * 1 its 0.51 and when that happens it changes the price to $2.00 when i want it to be $1.51.

But I don't want VB to round for me I want it to add decimals instead of just adding 0 when the number is too low.

How would this be achieved?

Remember I'm Very new to this and like simple words and nice explanations thanks!

I got it! using

Cint

makes it round to the nearest whole spot. For example

bad:
Pricerice_txtbx.Text = Cint(Priceofrice)
good:
Pricerice_txtbx.Text = Priceofrice

(using VB 2010 express)

You know what CInt does, right?

no :x i just kinda saw that and repeated it thinking it was needed.

CInt is one of the Type Conversion Functions (Visual Basic) and converts the expression to an Integer value.

Thanks for the information, it explains more so of why i had problems. I also read the page you posted it was very helpful. Thank you for your time!
