C# Financial Functions library

I'm looking for an open source C# .NET Financial Functions library. Something that does IRR (Internal Rate of Return) and other common functions that are available in applications like Excel.

Suggestions?

+3  A: 

There's one in the .NET library (haven't used it though)

I did see that under the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace - I'll ask about it being used in C#...

you won't get cooties if you use it from C#

The .NET library uses double for all its financial calculations, which is bad. It is based off the VB6 implementation, so I'd suggest using one of the other options linked in the other answers. More info here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2604003/for-money-always-decimal/2604030

Not a good option this Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll it uses double and not decimal.... can lead to round mistakes.

Check out this C# Implementation of financial functions I've made it a few years ago and it's still up and running.
