Input string is not in correct format

I receive data from an external application through TCP sockets. I want to convert the received string data into float. But I get this format exception:input string not in correct format error. I checked out the forum on this this and tried all possible answers that were given. Still not able to figure it out. Someone plz help.

This is my code :

//Receive TCP data

Byte data = new Byte[256];

Int32 bytes = stream.Read(data, 0, data.Length);

string recddata = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data, 0, bytes);

if(recddata != “”)

{

message = recddata;

float cmove = float.Parse(message);

}

simply check data you got on input. if you got message ‘input string not in correct format error’, then input string not in correct format. i will be very surprised if it’s not 8)

debug.log all data that goes to input parser and post it here if need explained.
