You could try Decimal.Parse() (or Float.Parse() or Double.Parse())
Check the MSDN help on it for more information on the commands

[ammoos]

you can use either the format

string number = "122";
decimal result =Convert.ToDeci mal((Convert.To Decimal(number) ).ToString("N", new CultureInfo("en-GB")));


or
string number = "122";
decimal result =Convert.ToDeci mal((Convert.To Decimal(number) ).ToString(".00 "));

The CInt function might help you.

CInt("1")

and many more conversions are available starting with C... (CDlb -- to convert to double, etc)

You will need to make the constructors as vb, but:

string mydecimal="12.8";
Decimal d= Decimal.Parse(mydecimal);
//d is now equal to 12.8
