static member ToSingle : string * IFormatProvider -> single

Parameters

Returns

A single-precision floating-point number that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is null.

Exceptions

Examples

The following example uses IFormatProvider objects that represent the en-US and fr-FR cultures when it converts the elements in an array of numeric strings to Single values.

Remarks

The return value is the result of invoking the Single.Parse method on value.

provider is an IFormatProvider instance that obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo object provides culture-specific information about the format of value. If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.

If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Single.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

The following example illustrates how a call to the Convert.ToSingle(Object, IFormatProvider) method, in turn, calls the IConvertible.ToSingle implementation of the Temperature class.

Module Example Public Sub Main() Dim cold As New Temperature(-40) Dim freezing As New Temperature(0) Dim boiling As New Temperature(100) Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToInt32(cold, Nothing)) Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToInt32(freezing, Nothing)) Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToDouble(boiling, Nothing)) End SubEnd Module' The example displays the following output:' -40' 0' 100

Remarks

The return value is the result of invoking the IConvertible.ToSingle method of the underlying type of value.

provider enables the user to specify culture-specific conversion information about the contents of value. For example, if value is a String that represents a number, provider could supply culture-specific information about the notation used to represent that number.

The base types ignore provider; however, the parameter may be used if value is a user-defined type that implements the IConvertible interface.

Remarks

Using the ToSingle(String) method is equivalent to passing value to the Single.Parse(String) method. value is interpreted by using the formatting conventions of the current culture.

If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Single.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

public: static float ToSingle(System::Decimal value);

public static float ToSingle (decimal value);

static member ToSingle : decimal -> single

Public Shared Function ToSingle (value As Decimal) As Single

Parameters

Returns

A single-precision floating-point number that is equivalent to 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 example converts each element in an array of Decimal values to a Single value.
