Round to even cents

I did a coding assignment one of these days that needed me to round a given price to the nearest even cent. Though the requirement was a bit odd, it became interesting when I realized that the built-in rounding methods in .Net were not sufficient. 10.346 has to round to 10.34 10.356 has to round to 10.36 I wrote the following method to implement this:         public static decimal RoundToEvenCents( decimal sourceNumber)         {             var tempNumber = sourceNumber * 100;             var lowerValue = Math.Floor(tempNumber);             var upperValue = Math.Ceiling(tempNumber);             var evenValue = (lowerValue % 2 == 0) ? lowerValue : upperValue;             return evenValue / 100;         } Though I am not sure if this is a valid business requirement, putting it here just in case somebody needs it.
