Here’s a class I almost always find I need…
XNA provides you Point and Vector2, int and float versions of coordinate data; however, they give you no float equivalent of Rectangle. I usually end up making a RectangleF and SizeF object for my games. Maybe others will find these useful too 
Oh, it’s worth noting that a SpriteBatch can be easily extended to take a RectangleF as an alternative to Rectangle. Simply use it to calculate the scale and then use the appropriate SpriteBatch.Draw overload.
