looks like the Isnumeric in vb2005 does not behave like it does in vb6.0..
when i execute the following line:
Isnumeric("&H-23")
i get this Run-time exception:
System.ArgumentException - String cannot contain a minus sign if the base is not 10.
is there other way i can check if the string can be converted to a number

thanks cgraus..
Tryparse() can do the job, but im trying to check the validity of hex numbers.. looks like TryParse can only check numbers expressed in decimal (am i right )..
