Is there a C# Function that is similar to the VB IsNumeric function

[clflyer]

Visual Basic has a function IsNumeric.
It returns True if the argument is a number, false if not.

in VB code it would look like this:

Dim txt as string = me.Textbox1.Text
if IsNumeric(txt)
	MsgBox("Its a number.");
else 
	MsgBox("Its not a number.");
end if

What I'm looking for is a similar function in C#

Thanks,
Bill

A TryParse on the type you want it to go to may also work.

Thanks That works .

I would say for a generic "numeric", use Double.TryParse (), It takes +/- values of integer or float types.
