  You can now use members of the Visual Basic .NET run-time library in Visual C#. The following code demonstrates how to use the IsNumeric function, which is a member of the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information class:

  private void UseIsNumeric()

  {

  string s = "123";

  bool bResult1, bResult2;

  bResult1 = Information.IsNumeric(s);

  // bResult1 now equals true

  s = "Hello";

  bResult2 = Information.IsNumeric(s);

  // bResult2 now equals false;

  }
