The name of this method and the others could be GetAsFloat, because this method doesn't get a float. $0$0 $0 $0GetDouble gets a SQL float. GetSqlFloat could have been the name for it, but then it wouldn't convey the output type and it would confuse things further with the CLR SqlDouble type which is supposed to represent a SQL float. It's all very confusing really and I like to think that the people that made this bit have left Microsoft for jobs in the Bush administration. $0$0 $0 $0This will help with your headache: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131092.aspx$0 $0
