.net - Implement "IntBitsToFloat" function in VB.NET -

in vb6 using

private type udt1     long end type private type udt2     f single end type  private function intbitstofloat(byval u long) double      dim n1 udt1     n1.i = u      dim n2 udt2     lset n2 = n1      intbitstofloat = n2.f  end function 

i trying find equivalent in vb.net did not find any.

does know it? thank you.

i think 1 works, based on test values wikipedia:

<structlayout(layoutkind.explicit)> structure udt     <fieldoffset(0)> dim integer     <fieldoffset(0)> dim f single end structure  function intbitstofloat(byval u integer) single     dim x udt     x.i = u     return x.f end function 

edit

guess should have searched first! see this answer less hacky version, in vb.net be:

function intbitstofloat(byval u integer) single     dim bytes = bitconverter.getbytes(u)     return bitconverter.tosingle(bytes, 0) end function 

update

looks hack structure faster on pc - e.g. on 100,000,000 iterations in linqpad:

#1: 00:00:00.0553656 #2: 00:00:01.2785214
