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

Parse and TryParse.
 
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
