.NET IsNumeric function

[Guest]

Hello All:

Does anyone know how someone would check for a numeric value in .NET? In
VB6, we used IsNumeric. What's the .NET equivalent?

BTW, I know that I can harken back to IsNumeric. I'm trying to purge any
trace of VB6 from my code.

TIA,

Thanks.

Hello Joe - do a search on this group for IsNumeric and you'll find an
enlightening thread from 1/15/2006. Essentially, the thread boils down to the
TryParse() method.

There is no direct equivalent in the .NET framework, but if you're using
VB.NET, IsNumeric is still a legitimate function that is not obsolete in any
way. So feel free to use it. For that matter, even if you're using C# you
can import the visual basic namespace and use the function that way. Some
things are just better about VB and that's ok.

The VB 2005 equivalent is IsNumeric().

In the default namespace when I create a VB 2005 application.
