Convert double to float without Infinity

Question

I\'m converting double to float using ye old float myFloat = (float)myDouble.

This does however sometimes result in \"Infinity\", which is not good for

Answer 1

You can use the .NET method Convert.ToSingle(). For example:

float newValue = Convert.ToSingle(value);

According to the MSDN Documentation:

Converts a specified value to a single-precision floating-point number.

Update: Upon further review, Convert.ToSingle(Double.MaxValue) results in Infinity so you still have to check for infinity as done in Jon Skeet's answer.
