Check if variable is a Decimal?**RESOLVED

[bebandit]

Hey Guys,
I just want to know if an incoming variable is a decimal or not. All the variables I send to the program are suppose to be decimals but a few sneak by that aren't and it messes everything up. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Example of good data coming in: 125.78
Example of bad data coming in: 125.122.3

I would do it this way , if it raised error , then it's not decimal elsewise , it's decimal .

Public Function CheckDecimal(ByVal number As Object) As Boolean
        Try
            MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToDecimal(number))
            Return True
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Error while converting to Decimal")
            Return False
        End Try
    End Function

Use something like this to test it .

MessageBox.Show(CheckDecimal(xxxx))

Or something like Decimal.Parse()
