>(2) the result is an expression of type double or decimal. Assigning that to an int results in a loss of precision. The compiler does not do that for you. Hence you have to cast it to an int

Thanks Gregory and Viv!

this:
StartLoop = (int)(Math.Floor((double)_CurrentPageIndex / _PageButtonCount) * _PageButtonCount) + 1;

seems to work.

Amaizing, how many troubles you may have in .Net to do something very simple which does not present any problem in VFP. :)

Exactly like Rick Strahl used to say: ".Net makes hard things easy and easy things hard..." :-)
