Public Sub ConvertByteSingle(ByVal byteVal As Byte)
   Dim singleVal As Single

   ' Byte to float conversion will not overflow.
   singleVal = System.Convert.ToSingle(byteVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The byte as a single is {0}.", _
                             singleVal) & vbCrLf

   ' Single to byte conversion can overflow.
   Try
      byteVal = System.Convert.ToByte(singleVal)
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The single as a byte is {0}.", _
                                byteVal) & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.OverflowException
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
          "Overflow in single-to-byte conversion.") & vbCrLf
   End Try
End Sub
