Convert String to Double - VB

Question

Is there an efficient method in VB to check if a string can be converted to a double?

I\'m currently doing this by trying to convert the string to a double and then

Answer 1

Dim text As String = "123.45"
Dim value As Double
If Double.TryParse(text, value) Then
    ' text is convertible to Double, and value contains the Double value now
Else
    ' Cannot convert text to Double
End If
