try
{
    double price = Convert.ToDouble(txtPrice.Text);
}

You could also use .GetType() to return the type of the variable if you are unsure what is being returned if a method is being called to generate the number. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/58918ffs(v=vs.71).aspx for an example.
