Unable to cast object of type 'System.Single' to type 'System.Int32' [duplicate]

Question

I am confused by getting the following error:

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Single' to type 'System.Int32'.

I am fetching data and iterating them as follows:

public MyFault
{

   public int fault_throw { get; set; }

}

 protected List<MyFault> myfaults = new List<MyFault>();
 foreach (var package in packages2)
    {
       // the following line throws an error
      myfaults.Add(new MyFault {fault_throw=(int)(package["fault_throw"])});
    }

Answer 1

System.Single is a single-precision floating-point number. And I think it is boxed as object in package["fault_throw"]. And you can not unbox a float to an int. You can use the Convert.ToInt32() Method, if you want to convert a boxed float to an integer.
