There's a function called StrToFloat and anotherone called Val.
But I don't know if you can make use of that in VB too ...

CE's Lua
Code:
local text = "3.5"
local value = tonumber(text)
print(value)

VB.NET
Code:
string text = "3.5";
float value = float.Parse(text);
Console.WriteLine("{0}", value);

Or was that C#... maybe
Code:
Dim text As String = "3.5"
Dim value As Single = Convert.ToSingle(text)
Console.WriteLine("{0}", value)

Everyone knows "Score" translates to the float value 4.741567549E30.

But since "Score" has five characters and therefore is five bytes long, while a float only has four bytes, you're still missing one byte of information ...

It's called truncation. Get with the times!
