C# IsNumeric Example Syntax | C-Sharp IsNumeric | Source Code
Purpose: – Illustrates the C# Syntax for IsNumeric.
Step 1: Click on C# to Cut-n-paste code into clsIsNumeric.cs
using System; public class clsIsNumeric { public void Main() { //**************************************************************************************** // Example #1: IsNumeric(string) //**************************************************************************************** //**************************************************************************************** // Example #1: IsNumeric(string) // Not supported in C#, but here is code that duplicates what happens in VB // Returns a Boolean value that indicates if the string is Numeric. //**************************************************************************************** Console.WriteLine("Example #1: IsNumeric(strField)"); string strField = "100.00"; Console.WriteLine(SimulateIsNumeric.IsNumeric(strField)); //Returns True - decimals are numeric //write blank line to make output easier to read Console.WriteLine(); //Prevent console from closing before you press enter Console.ReadLine(); } } //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Copyright © 2003 - 2011 Tangible Software Solutions Inc. // This class can be used by anyone provided that the copyright notice remains intact. // // This class simulates the behavior of the classic VB 'IsNumeric' function. //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- public static class SimulateIsNumeric { public static bool IsNumeric(object expression) { if (expression == null) return false; double testDouble; if (double.TryParse(expression.ToString(), out testDouble)) return true; //VB's 'IsNumeric' returns true for any boolean value: bool testBool; if (bool.TryParse(expression.ToString(), out testBool)) return true; return false; } } |
Step 2: Click on C# to Cut-n-paste code into Program.cs
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace CSharp_Syntax { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { clsIsNumeric myIsNumeric = new clsIsNumeric(); myIsNumeric.Main(); } } } |
Prerequistes:
- Install C# (Express or Standard Edition)
- Install SQL Server Express
- Download Northwind and pubs Database
- Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
- Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express
Notes:
- Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
- You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Program.cs
IsNumericuctions:
