Is the following VB.NET code:

Dim MyNumber As Long
Dim MyNewType As Single
MyNumber = 1000
MyNewType = CType(MyNumber,Single)   ' MyNewType is set to 1000.0.

the same as te following C# code?

Int64 myNumber;
Single myNewType;
myNumber = 1000;
myNewType = (Single)myNumber;

The reason I am asking is because I am trying to find the equivalent of VB.NET's CType() in C#

Thanks,
Einar
