If you're using .NET don't reivent the wheel. See System.Device.Location. Credit to fnx in the comments in another answer.
using System.Device.Location;
double lat1 = 45.421527862548828D;
double long1 = -75.697189331054688D;
double lat2 = 53.64135D;
double long2 = -113.59273D;
GeoCoordinate geo1 = new GeoCoordinate(lat1, long1);
GeoCoordinate geo2 = new GeoCoordinate(lat2, long2);
double distance = geo1.GetDistanceTo(geo2);
