I have looked around a little bit in MSDN, but haven't
found an answer to my question:

Does C# support a function like VB's IsNumeric() (or any
other function(s) that can determine if a value is a
specific type)?

Thanks!

Typing your methods is one way. If you need general passing such as
ValueType or object then check the type in if blocks or a switch block:

public string GetType(ValueType vt)
{
if ( vt.GetType() == typeof(int) )
return "Type is int.";
if ( vt.GetType() == typeof(uint) )
return "Type is uint.";
return "Sorry, not my type.";
}

Click to expand...

Besides the other options check out the "is" operator in the help. There is
a decent code example too.
