Solution 1

Convert float to string e.g. prev.ToString() but I suspect you also want it the other way around...

C#

float.TryParse(prevtxt.Text, out prev);

Or

C#

prev.ToString("0.00");

if you want to format it ... try looking up the help on ToString() or look at the intellisense prompts

You are missing the out in the TryParse call.

Cheers - was in the process of adding it - although I will confess to deliberate typos in most of my answers if I suspect a straight copy-paster ;-p

Solution 3

String to float: float.TryParse(...), e.g.

C#

if (!float.TryParse(previous, out prev))
{
    // do some UI error handling
}
else
{
    // do the correct case
}

Float to string:

C#

string s = prev.ToString();

Cheers
Andi
