GridCellValueConvert for System.Single

[Terry Foster]

Noticing a small inconsistency that perhaps you can explain why you''ve implemented it the way you have or perhaps fix it.

When I enter "1,2" into a textbox cell with a CellValueType of System.Single, the value is considered invalid. If the CellValueType is System.Double, then it is valid. I''ve tracked the reason down the ''GridCellValueConvert.Parse'' method. Almost all of the built-in .NET types are being handled explicitly, but System.Single is definitely not being handled explicity - it falls through to the TypeConverter block of code, which taught me something I did not know before:

''float.Parse("1,2")'' is valid
''TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(float)).ConvertFrom("1,2")'' is NOT valid

While one could certain argue whether 1,2 is a valid float value or not, my main concern that validation in the grid is just not consistent.

Could you please explain and/or fix?

Thanks,
Terry

P.S. Using 3.0.1.0

This is an oversight on our side. We will modify GridCellValueConvert to handle System.Single explicitly.

This change will be done immediately and probably will make the actual 3.3 release.
