how to pass a float/int/decimal from view to contoller using FormCollection in Asp.MVC

I can retrieve a string but I can't retrieve a decimal/int/float.

When retrieving the the string I used this.

 customer.FirstName = formCollection["FirstName"];
 customer.LastName = formCollection["LastName"];

Or

 FirstName = formCollection["FirstName"],
 LastName = formCollection["LastName"]

Then I tried it to a decimal/foat/integer, but having an error "Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'int' "

Amount= formCollection["Amount"]

so I try this

Amount= int32.Parse.formCollection["Amount"]
Amount= int32.TryParse.formCollection["Amount"]

but it's overloading. Can someone know how to collect a int/float/decimal from view to controller??

formCollection["Amount"] is a string, because you use an <input type="text" /> I guess. int32.Parse(string s) wants a string. So just write: 

Amount = Int32.Parse(formCollection["Amount"]);
