The Math.Ceiling() function returns an integer value that is greater than or equal to the argument - the result of round-up operation. 

using System;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args) 
    {
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling(  5.0  ));  //  5
                                                  
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling(  2.49 ));  //  3
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling(  2.50 ));  //  3
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling(  2.51 ));  //  3
                                                  
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling( -2.49 ));  // -2
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling( -2.50 ));  // -2
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling( -2.51 ));  // -2
                                                   
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling(  0.999 )); //  1
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling(  1.001 )); //  2
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Ceiling( -1.001 )); // -1
    }                      
}

Syntax
namespace System
{
    public static class Math
    {
        // ...
        public static decimal Ceiling(decimal number) { ... }
        public static double Ceiling(double number) { ... }
        // ...
    }
}
Parametersnumber - decimal or double value (primitive value).
Result

Rounded up number value (primitive value).

If input number value is equal to NaN it returns NaN.

If input  number value is equal to -Infinity it returns -Infinity.

If input  number value is equal to +Infinity it returns +Infinity.

DescriptionCeiling is a static method that takes only one parameter and returns a rounded-up value.

2. Rounding with precision up-to n places example

using System;

public class Program
{
    static double CeilingPrecised(double number, int precision)
    {
        double power = Math.Pow(10, precision);
        return Math.Ceiling(number * power) / power;
    }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  5   , 0  )); // 5
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  5.0 , 0  )); // 5
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  0.5 , 0  )); // 1

        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  1.1234, 0  )); // 2
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  1.1234, 1  )); // 1.2
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  1.1235, 2  )); // 1.13
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  1.1235, 3  )); // 1.124
                                                         
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised( -1.1234, 0  )); // -1
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised( -1.1234, 1  )); // -1.1
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised( -1.1234, 2  )); // -1.12
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised( -1.1234, 3  )); // -1.123

        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  1234, -1  )); // 1240
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  1234, -2  )); // 1300
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  1234, -3  )); // 2000

        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  5_000.000_001,  0 )); // 5001
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  5_000.000_001,  6 )); // 5000.000001
        Console.WriteLine(  CeilingPrecised(  5_000.000_001, -3 )); // 6000
    }
}
