Try
float.Parse(TextBox1.Text, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat);
or try using Double if you can

Solution 1

Try:

C#

float f = 0.0F;
if (float.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, out f))
   {
   // It converted ok
   }

Solution 2

You may use Single.Parse[^] or the Single.TryParse[^] method if you really need a Single (a Double could be a better option).
