Re: Datatype checking in DotNET

Is there methods in Dotnet that allow datatype checking for example:-

If I have a string that contains '2.12' and then I want to check to see if its a float, single or double then what class would I use to do this? is there a class that even can do this???

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated

I've never seen DotNet, but there is probably some method of a Double class, for instance, that attempts a conversion from a string to a double and will throw an error or give a return code if the string isn't a valid double.
