Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Converts the value of the specified double-precision floating point number to an equivalent single-precision floating point number.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function ToSingle ( _
    value As Double _
) As Single

public static float ToSingle(
    double value
)

Parameters

value
Type: System.Double
A double-precision floating point number.

Return Value

Type: System.Single
A single-precision floating point number equivalent to the value of value.
value is rounded using rounding to nearest. For example, when rounded to two decimals, the value 2.345 becomes 2.34 and the value 2.355 becomes 2.36.

Examples

The following code sample illustrates the conversion of a Double to Single, using ToSingle.

Public Sub CovertDoubleFloat(ByVal doubleVal As Double)
   Dim singleVal As Single = 0

   ' Double to Single conversion cannot overflow.
   singleVal = System.Convert.ToSingle(doubleVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Single is {1}", _
                             doubleVal, singleVal) & vbCrLf

   ' Conversion from Single to Double cannot overflow.
   doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(singleVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Double is: {1}", _
                             singleVal, doubleVal) & vbCrLf
End Sub

public void CovertDoubleFloat(double doubleVal)
{
   float floatVal = 0;

   // Double to float conversion cannot overflow.
   floatVal = System.Convert.ToSingle(doubleVal);
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a float is {1}",
      doubleVal, floatVal) + "\n";

   // Conversion from float to double cannot overflow.
   doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(floatVal);
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a double is: {1}",
      floatVal, doubleVal) + "\n";
}
