The following example converts each element in an array of byte values to a Single value.

Dim numbers() As Byte = { Byte.MinValue, 10, 100, Byte.MaxValue }
Dim result As Single

For Each number As Byte In numbers
   result = Convert.ToSingle(number)
   Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value {1} to the {2} value {3}.", _
                     number.GetType().Name, number, _
                     result.GetType().Name, result)
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'       Converted the Byte value 0 to the Single value 0.
'       Converted the Byte value 10 to the Single value 10.
'       Converted the Byte value 100 to the Single value 100.
'       Converted the Byte value 255 to the Single value 255.
