Float in Database to ? in .NET

Question

If you have a float in MSSQLServer, to what do you map this in .NET?

Can you convert it to Double or will you lose numbers?

Answer 1

Check out:

• SQL Server Data Types and Their .NET Framework Equivalents (msdn) for full reference on data type mappings between SQL Server and .Net

In your case SQL Server native type float maps to SQL Server CLR SqlDouble and then Double in .Net

Update (May 2016):

Updated version of the msdn document: Mapping CRL Parameter Data
