Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetFloat ( _
    ordinal As Integer _
) As Single
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlCeDataReader
Dim ordinal As Integer

returnValue = instance.GetFloat(ordinal)

public override float GetFloat(
    int ordinal
)

public:
virtual float GetFloat(
    int ordinal
) override

abstract GetFloat : 
        ordinal:int -> float32 
override GetFloat : 
        ordinal:int -> float32

public override function GetFloat(
    ordinal : int
) : float

Parameters

ordinal
Type: System. . :: . .Int32
The zero-based column ordinal.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidCastException	The specified cast is not valid.
SqlNullValueException	The value is null Nothing nullptr unit a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) .
InvalidOperationException	The operation is not valid. The SqlCeDataReader may be positioned after the last row in the result set.

Remarks

No conversions are performed; therefore the data retrieved must already be a single-precision floating point number.

Call IsDBNull to check for null values before calling this method.
