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
