Converting String to Float

Hi ,

Trying to convert a string value to a float value after reading the
value from an XML file , but not sure what function to use. The
following only works for integers

Int32.Parse (readXml.Value) ;

Any suggestions for an alternate function ..

thanks in advance,
vivekian

Use double.Parse or double.TryParse.
