How do I convert Int/Decimal to float in C#?

Question

How does one convert from an int or a decimal to a float in C#?

I need to use a float for a third-party control, but I don't use them in my code, and I'm not sure how to end up with a float.

Answer 1

You can just do a cast

int val1 = 1; float val2 = (float)val1; 

or

decimal val3 = 3; float val4 = (float)val3; 

Answer 2

The same as an int:

float f = 6; 

Also here's how to programmatically convert from an int to a float, and a single in C# is the same as a float:

int i = 8; float f = Convert.ToSingle(i); 

Or you can just cast an int to a float:

float f = (float)i;
