[RESOLVED] How to get a float out of a textbox number ?

Given a textbox containing the number (text) '123.234345456567', how do I get this converted to a float variable in the underlying c# code ?

Code:

---

float f = float.Parse(TextBox1.Text);

---

But this one will throw an exception if the input is not a valid float.
Instead use

Code:

---

float f;
bool valid = float.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, out f);

---

Thanks, Danny. I figured it out. See my previous post for an explanation of the problem I was having.
