How to check if IsNumeric?

If you need to check if something is a number, in C# doesn’t exist a function for that. That I’ve created the following code.

 public bool IsNumeric(object Expression) { if (Expression == null || Expression is DateTime) return false; if (Expression is Int16 || Expression is Int32 || Expression is Int64 || Expression is Decimal || Expression is Single || Expression is Double || Expression is Boolean) return true; try { if (Expression is string) Double.Parse(Expression as string); else Double.Parse(Expression.ToString()); return true; } catch { } // just dismiss errors but return false return false; } 

Happy coding!
