	SingleConverter()	Initializes a new instance of the SingleConverter class.

Methods

	Name	Description
	CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext^, Type^)	Determines if this converter can convert an object in the given source type to the native type of the converter.(Inherited from BaseNumberConverter.)
	CanConvertFrom(Type^)	Returns whether this converter can convert an object of the given type to the type of this converter.(Inherited from TypeConverter.)

	CanConvertTo(Type^)	Returns whether this converter can convert the object to the specified type.(Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext^, CultureInfo^, Object^)	Converts the given object to the converter's native type.(Inherited from BaseNumberConverter.)
	ConvertFrom(Object^)	Converts the given value to the type of this converter.(Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	ConvertFromInvariantString(ITypeDescriptorContext^, String^)	Converts the given string to the type of this converter, using the invariant culture and the specified context.(Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	ConvertFromInvariantString(String^)	Converts the given string to the type of this converter, using the invariant culture.(Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	ConvertFromString(ITypeDescriptorContext^, CultureInfo^, String^)	Converts the given text to an object, using the specified context and culture information.(Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	ConvertFromString(ITypeDescriptorContext^, String^)	Converts the given text to an object, using the specified context.(Inherited from TypeConverter.)

	CreateInstance(ITypeDescriptorContext^, IDictionary^)	Creates an instance of the type that this TypeConverter is associated with, using the specified context, given a set of property values for the object.(Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	Equals(Object^)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize()	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.)

	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

This converter can only convert a single-precision, floating point number object to and from a string. The Single value type represents a single-precision 32-bit number with values ranging from negative 3.402823e38 to positive 3.402823e38.

Note
You should never create an instance of SingleConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.

Examples

The following sample converts a variable of type Single to a string, and vice versa.

C++

Single s(3.402823E+10F);
String^ mySStr = "3.402823E+10";
Console::WriteLine( TypeDescriptor::GetConverter( s )->ConvertTo( s, String::typeid ) );
Console::WriteLine( TypeDescriptor::GetConverter( s )->ConvertFrom( mySStr ) );

Version Information
