Conversion help

Post icon  Posted 05 October 2005 - 09:13 AM

I’m am working on a program that can imports a string from a text box and then converts it to another data type so that I can run it through some formulas.

I think that I need to convert it to a double so that it can have decimals but I cant figure out how to convert a string to a double.

Is a double the best way to go and is there any way to convert from a string to a double?
