Currency format on a try parse

I'm trying to do a tryparse on a single with the proper culture setted and allowing the currency symbol but nothing seems to work

This is the condition

If (Not Single.TryParse(e.FormattedValue.ToString, NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, dTemp) OrElse dTemp < 0) Then
                    MsgBox("La valeur ne doit pas être négative ni être une lettre. Ne laisser pas la case vide non plus.")
                    e.Cancel = True
                End If

With a value like 98,00 $ it go into the condition....

So how do I make it understand that the Currency is not to be taken care of, without some complciated string builder, basicly what am I doing wrong

Try to change the parameter for NumberStyles to NumberStyles.Currency

If (Not Single.TryParse(e.FormattedValue.ToString, NumberStyles.Currency, _
                        CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, dTemp) OrElse dTemp < 0) Then
  .....

However if you expect your string to be a currency value, probably I would use a decimal instead of a single
