built in function that will grab the value of a number before and after a decimal

If I have a number 6.44

I want to take 6.44 and split it up into 2 variables

variable one = 6

variable two = .44

if I have a packaging qty that ends with 6.44 boxes, then I want to take .44 and multiply it by the box qty to get the qty of the last box

If there is no built in function can someone tell me how else I can do this?

            decimal d = 6.44m;

            decimal w = Math.Truncate(d);
            decimal f = Math.Abs(d - w);

            Console.WriteLine(w); // Prints 6
            Console.WriteLine(f); // Prints 0.44

(Note that if there is a negative sign, the following assigns it to the whole part only. Drop the Math.Abs() and the sign will be in both the whole and fractional parts.)

Hello,

A decimal can be much greater than an integer, however if the decimal is not so big, you may also try like the following

decimal d = 6.44m;

int w = (int)d;
decimal f = d - w;

Console.WriteLine(w);
Console.WriteLine(f);

If you are using big numbers, please take BinaryCoder's idea

Let me know if you want VB.NET code.
