Old question, but here's the min and max in string format.

Using float.Parse
-340282356779733642999999999999999999999 to 340282356779733642999999999999999999999
Using float.MinValue.ToString("#") and float.MaxValue.ToString("#")
-340282300000000000000000000000000000000 to 340282300000000000000000000000000000000
Using float.MinValue.ToString() and float.MaxValue.ToString()
-3.402823E+38 to 3.402823E+38
