    How to convert an float into a std::string?

    I am working with a XML serializer.
    I wonder if I am creating a text element (xerces)
    But the value I am after is a float, how do I convert it into a std::string?
    Thanks

    Code:
    std::ostringstream ss;
    ss << v.x;
    std::string buff(ss.str());
    Errors here. I've included iostream and using namespace std;

    Did you include <string> ?

    Hi John,
    I've included and not included it, but it seems to be of a little differences.
    Thanks

    First google hit: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/s...ostringstream/
    On the left side, under 'Reference' you see which header this is defined in.
