Convert int bits to float bits

Question

I\'m in the process of creating a buffer that will read/write in a banner in which I can completely eradicate the problems that comes with TCP-Segmentation. The only problem

Answer 1

BitConverter creates some overhead and unnecessary buffer. This solution is almost as fast as unsafe conversion:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
struct FloatToInt 
{
    [FieldOffset(0)]private float f;
    [FieldOffset(0)]private int i;
    private static FloatToInt inst = new FloatToInt();
    public static int Convert(float value)
    {
        inst.f = value;
        return t.i;
    }
}
