C# – Best way to parse float

ccurrentculturefloating pointparsing

What is the best way to parse a float in CSharp?
I know about TryParse, but what I'm particularly wondering about is dots, commas etc.

I'm having problems with my website. On my dev server, the ',' is for decimals, the '.' for separator. On the prod server though, it is the other way round.
How can I best capture this?

I agree with leppie's reply; to put that in terms of code:

string s = "123,456.789";
float f = float.Parse(s, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
