Creating a Boolean Test for Numbers?

Alright in class i had a hard time learning this because we kinda just skipt through it.

is it somthing like...

Dim Name As Boolean

If Name is Numeric Then
]Code[
Else
]skip[
End if


.... ok thats wrong i know it is.

i would like to test a Text box... Thanks for any help

Try If IsNumeric(variable) Then ...

lol yeah thats it, thanks man,
-------------

ok well not reallt, it keeps giving me an error about IsNumeric

but i guess i will ask my teacher, thanks anyways

I dont know if this is too advanced for you , but you can always use the 'try catch exception' statement while trying to assign values from the text box to the declared variable of type any number (eg int ,double etc). If the value from the text box in not the right type, an exception would be thrown, and then you can catch that exception to validate you field text.

Hope I am not confusing you.

Just in case you did not check this... when using IsNumeric, make sure to specify that you
are evaluating the Text or Value property.

For example:

If Isnumeric(textbox1.text) Then 'VB.net or .value I think in VB6
.....
End If

Hope this helps...
