"If" statement asking for integer

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Visual Basic and programming in general. I want to
know if it's possible to create an If statement that asks if a value is
an integer. If it's an integer it does one thing, if it's a decimal
value it does something else. Something like the following...

If i = integer Then
..... a....
Else
...... b .....
EndIf

Seems like it should be fairly simple to me. Any help would be
appreciated, thanks.
 
Hi,

If is integer or decimal? I don't know...

but you can use

If IsNumeric(value)

If NOT IsNumeric(value)

I don't know if there is a more elegant way, but this will work:

if cdbl(cint(i)) = i then
' i is an integer
else
' i is not an integer
endif

If i = 5.2, say, then cint(i) gives 5, cdbl(cint(i)) gives 5.0 and the test
fails.

I hope this helps,

If TypeOf i is Integer then
' do something

Throw New ArgumentException()

Hi

If you're using .Net 2 then you could try using
Int32.TryParse(yourvalue)

Cheers

Do you mean
(a) The /value/ in a variable is an integer?

If i = Int( i ) Then
...

(b) The /Type/ of the variable holding the value is an Integer?

If TypeOf i Is Integer Then
...

The latter test extends to all data types, including you own classes, as in

If TypeOf sender Is CustomListView Then
With DirectCast(sender, CustomListView)
...
End With
...
