Convert.tosingle rounding problem

[sony.m.2007]

Hi,
I have a problem in converting the string to single using
convert.tosingle.
convert.tosingle rounds of .99 to 1.00
my code as below
string st="99.99";
single st1=0.0F;
st1=Convert.ToSingle(st);
When i check the value of st1, it is 100.00.
Is there anyother argument to be passed into convert.tosingle function
to avoid rounding?

Thanks,
Sony

How are you checking the value of st1?

Here's a short program demonstrating it working:

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;

class Test
{
static void Main()
{
float f1 = Convert.ToSingle("99.99");
float f2 = Convert.ToSingle("0.99");

Console.WriteLine(DoubleConverter.ToExactString(f1));
Console.WriteLine(DoubleConverter.ToExactString(f2));
}
}

DoubleConverter.cs can be downloaded from

Do you have a short but complete program demonstrating your issue?

Ehhmm I got 99,99

string st = "99,99";
Single st1= 0.0F;
st1 = Convert.ToSingle(st);
