Convert.ToSingle(\"41.00027357629127\");

or

float.Pars         


        

Answer 1

Your thread's locale is set to one in which the decimal mark is "," instead of ".".

Try using this:

float.Parse("41.00027357629127", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat);

Note, however, that a float cannot hold that many digits of precision. You would have to use double or Decimal to do so.
