    Convert string to float number

    I need to build a selection containing all child nodes of a particular type where the 'price' property (which is a string) is <= a variable (also a string).

    This will obviously do a string match...

    var selection = myNode.GiftTypes.Where("price <= \""+costlimit+"\"")

    ... but I need to convert 'price' and 'costlimit' to float numbers so that I can do...

    price <= costlimit // e.g. 8.95 <= 20

    I've tried all sorts of things, like price.AsInt(), Int32.Parse(price), but everything throws an error.

    Thanks

    Hi Robin

    Try this code:

    var selection = myNode.GiftTypes..Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue<float>("price") <= costlimit));

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Thanks, Alex, for such a rapid reply, but this gives an error:

    Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type
