Identify if a string is a number

Question

If I have these strings:

1. \"abc\" = false

2. \"123\" = true

3. \"ab2\"

Answer 1

You can always use the built in TryParse methods for many datatypes to see if the string in question will pass.

Example.

decimal myDec;
var Result = decimal.TryParse("123", out myDec);

Result would then = True

decimal myDec;
var Result = decimal.TryParse("abc", out myDec);

Result would then = False
