Convert::To
Single MySingle = Convert::ToSingle(SomeString);
Internationalization – IMPORTANT!!!
When converting from strings remember to deal with possible Internationalization issues for countries which use different characters, for instance like commas instead of decimal points – Convert::To doesn’t deal with this!
