HostToNetworkOrder with a value of type Single

Dale

i need to take a value from a textbox, convert the string to Single, put it into HostToNetworkOrder, and insert it into a byte array.

here is the code without the HostToNetworkOrder conversion:

blTempArray = BitConverter.GetBytes(Convert.ToSingle(txtNomThick.Text));

Whenever i put in the IPaddress.HostToNetworkOrder() method it says it has some invalid arguments. It only accepts values of type Long, Short, and Int. How can i get around this problem?

Nevermind i got it, i had to cast the value as a long and then convert it:

byte[] blTempArray = new byte[4];

Single slTextBox = Convert.ToSingle(spTextBox);

Int32 ilTextBox = (Int32) slTextBox;

ilTextBox = System.Net.IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder(ilTextBox);

blTempArray = BitConverter.GetBytes(ilTextBox);
