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

It depends on the size of the SQL float. For plain "float" which is equivalent to float(53), you need to use a C# double. For float(24) or lower a C# float will be enough, or a double would work as well.
