Convert.ToSingle Method (String)

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

Converts the specified String representation of a number to an equivalent single-precision floating point number.

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

Syntax

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

public static float ToSingle(
    string value
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Single
A single-precision floating point number equivalent to the value of value.
-or-
Zero if value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
FormatException

value is not a number in a valid format.
OverflowException

value represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

Remarks

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

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.

Examples

The following code sample illustrates the conversion of a String to Single, using ToSingle:

Public Sub ConvertStringFloat(ByVal stringVal As String)
   Dim singleVal As Single = 0

   Try
      singleVal = System.Convert.ToSingle(singleVal)
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The string as a single is {0}.", _
                                singleVal) & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.OverflowException
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
          "Overflow in string-to-single conversion.") & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.FormatException
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
          "The string is not formatted as a Single.") & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.ArgumentException
      outputBlock.Text &= "The string is null." & vbCrLf
   End Try

   ' Single to string conversion will not overflow.
   stringVal = System.Convert.ToString(singleVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The single as a string is {0}.", _
                             stringVal) & vbCrLf
End Sub

public void ConvertStringFloat(string stringVal)
{
   float floatVal = 0;

   try
   {
      floatVal = System.Convert.ToSingle(stringVal);
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "The string as a float is {0}.", floatVal) + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.OverflowException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "The conversion from string-to-float overflowed.") + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.FormatException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "The string is not formatted as a float.") + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.ArgumentNullException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "The string is null.") + "\n";
   }

   // Float to string conversion will not overflow.
   stringVal = System.Convert.ToString(floatVal);
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
      "The float as a string is {0}.", stringVal) + "\n";
}
