If you're using C++, just use an ostringstream:

#include <string>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
	using namespace std;
	float f = 7.25;
	ostringstream os;
	os << f;
	string s = os.str();
	// s now holds the string 
	//    representation of f
}

For more info, take a look at sections 38.1 - 38.3 of
the C++ FAQ:

Best regards,

Tom
