HostToNetworkOrder with a value of type Single

Question

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);
