[gameprogrammer] How to assign a numeric variable to an std::string?

[Kevin Jenkins <gameprogrammer@rakkar.org>]

float f=5;
std::string myStr;
myStr << f;

It doesn't work.

Error	1	error C2784: 'std::basic_ostream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::operator 
<<(std::basic_ostream<_Elem,_Traits> &,const 
std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &)' : could not deduce 
template argument for 'std::basic_ostream<_Elem,_Traits> &' from 
'std::string'

So how do I do this?  E.G.
sprintf(str, "%f", f);
