Just follow the example from Double.TryParse Method. Instead of specifying the culture, just ask the system for the current culture.

    string userInput = "56,67";
    float output;
    System.Globalization.NumberStyles style = System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint;
    System.Globalization.CultureInfo  info =  System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;

    if (float.TryParse(userInput, style, info, out output))
    {
        // ...
    }
    else
    {
        // ....
    }

Use the over load which looks a below

float.Parse("20,30", System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Float,
                          Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture);

Or you can use double.parse also as below

double.Parse("30.30", System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Float,
                          Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture);
