How do I convert Int/Decimal to float in C#?

c#, casting, floating-point

Solution

You can just do a cast

int val1 = 1;
float val2 = (float)val1;

or

decimal val3 = 3;
float val4 = (float)val3;

Problem

How does one convert from an int or a decimal to a float in C#? I need to use a float for a third-party control, but I don't use them in my code, and I'm not sure how to end up with a float.
