[RESOLVED] isString function

Hi

I know theres a isNumeric(),ISdate() and isArray() function,

But is there a

isString()?? if not any equivalent??

VB Code:

If TypeOf x Is String Then

You can use this for any type, including Date, Array, etc.

That's right. I make a couple of hundred posts every thirty seconds. ;)

If you want to check the type of the variable its good, but if you want to check the contained of the variable its not a good solution :)

E.g : If you create a string var, and that you put a numbers, the type of the variable stayed "string". o)
If TypeOf x Is String Then => Bin :D

Enjoy. ;)

(if I Could give to you a solution, i make this, but i can't)

If you have a String which may be an Integer use Integer.TryParse. Double, Decimal, DateTime etc also have TryParse.
