String to Float

[Dave]

I am trying to compile some code that takes an input value from a combo box
named comRate. I am having difficulties trying to assign this value from the
comRate combo box to a float data type variable named input. There needs to
be some a conversion from a string to a float data type but I am not sure
how to do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

float val = Single.Parse(myStringFloat);

hi
you can also use Convert.ToSingle Method

Parse and TryParse.

float f=Convert.ToSingle(ComRate.SelectedItem.ToString());
textBox1.Text=f.ToString();

Thanks to all of you that answered my question. All the methods you have
posted worked and I knew there was more than one way to do it and I had
tried to use the float.Parse method and it didn't work I must have used
Float.Parse because it also works as long as I don't capitalize the " f "...
so much to learn. But thanks again
