isnumeric in c#
-
nice and should include 43 and 45 also :):)
It is Good to be Important but! it is more Important to be Good
-
but these meathods through exceptions which is a lag in performance :):)

u can try private bool IsNumeric(object numberString) { string strVal = numberString.ToString(); char [] ca = strVal.ToCharArray(); for (int i = 0; i < ca.Length;i++) { if (Char.IsNumber(ca[i])) return false; else return true; } }

Yes "gr8" indeed :rolleyes: as in reading this makes me want to gr8 my forehead with a cheese gr8er. Specifically
if (Char.IsNumber(ca[i])) return false;within a method called IsNumeric - whose purpose is to return true when a string is numeric. -

This logic is so badly flawed.. 1) false is returned if a character is numeric - the purpose of the method was supposed to be returning true if a caracter is numeric 2) It always returns on the first character, rather than checking the whole string is made up of numbers... basically the for loop is useless.

how can we use isnumeric in c# thanks :):)
As has been hinted, rather badly, by previous posters the way to write an isnumeric method is to iterate over each character in a string checking whether
Char.IsNumberis true orchar == '.'for every character in the string. You may want to remove formatting from the number, as often numbers may be separated with a comma (1,000,000) and sometimes numbers are a representation of currency (£100) - you may or may not want these two cases to be treated as valid numerics. -

You also need to check for '-' in the first char, and that '.' only appears once.

I really doubt MS would implement it as such but I would really like to see documentation on the way Int32.TryParse was implemented just so I can see for myself. I suppose, if I wasn't so lazy I could just look at the MSIL ... actually I think I am about to do that.
On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. - Charles Babbage

No try catch. I would post a snippet but it is way long. Int32.TryParse traces all the way up to Number.ParseNumber.
