How to check a string

Hi ad,

What exactly did you mean by "composite of number"?

Could you please describe in more detail what you are trying to accomplish?
 
Hi,

You can use:

bool IsInteger(string s)
{
try
{
int n = int.Parse(s);
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}

This will accept a '+' or '-' sign in front of a number. If you don't want
that, you could write your own function:

bool IsInteger(string s)
{
for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++)
if (s < '0' || s > '9')
return false;
return true;
}

Check against a regular expression could be another solution.

Yep, and much easier:

if (Regex.IsMatch(myString, "\d+"))
// myString contains at least one character 0-9
