Solution 1

Like this:

float foo = 32.2;
string bar = foo.ToString();

You might want to take a look at this link[^] it helps you specifiy how you want the string to be formatted (decimal points, separators etc).

txt_credite.Text = dr["credit"].ToString();
THAT DATATYPE OF CREDIT IS FLOAT AND I WANT TO CONVERT IT TO STRING HOW WRITE IT

first of all, either your caps lock is broken, or you are very rude, or you have no idea what is acceptable on the internet. THIS IS SHOUTING. Second, the code you've posted, works. Every object has a ToString, which converts it to a string. In this case, you're going from object to string, without it ever being a float, but that should not matter. If you didn't know about Tostring, then you should not be writing code, you should be reading beginner books.

No! dr could be anything indexed with string; and dr["credit"] also can be anything.
Do not ask questions on the code you don't show.
Also, you got an answer. Don't pretend you did not.

You can also try
string u = Convert.ToString(foo);

For displaying a numeric value in a label or text box on a winform you can convert a float value by using the string format, which will convert a float to a formatted string value.

For example: I display a double float value for a ratio and display it on a winform as shown below.

lblRatio.Text = string.Format("{0:0.0000}", DATclass.dRatio);
