A float in SQL is not the same as a float in .Net. If you look at table of SqlDbType Enumeration you will find that SQL float is equivalent to double type.

Float->Double. A floating point number within the range of -1.79E +308 through 1.79E +308.

from C# Reference:

In .Net, a float is an alias for the System.Single type.

-3.4 × 10³⁸ to +3.4 × 10³⁸
