IsNumeric in C#

Hey just survived the hell called school and bad organisation but now i'm gone start blogging again.

When i was reading thro one of the blogs i found a reverence to a function called Isnumeric but it's only there for VB.NET so i had to find/make me one. Here is a solution to the problem:

public static bool IsNumeric(object value)
{
        try 
        { 
                int i = Convert.ToDouble(value.ToString());
                return true; 
        } 
        catch (FormatException) 
        { 
                return false;
        }
}

I know it's not what the vb version is doing but hey it works :D

Good luck all Weeee i have a post witch has 1100 web views

Working with DataList ItemDataBound

Ok so i was bizzy with a datalist with a picture in it witch should be loaded like the ID was 22 then the picture would be http://localhost/picture/product/22.jpg but it could also be that there was no picture and then it should link it so http://localhost/picture/product/na.jpg the problem was how do you do this a well here is the way i did it.

The img was called “img_product” and was on the ItemTemplate now i whent to events and dubble clicked on ItemDataBound kicked me to the codebehind and made the function DataListProduct_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs e) so now i needed to access the image from the datalist. This was done by using:
Image image = e.Item.FindControl(“img_product“) as Image;
Now i could access the ImageUrl of the image by using:
image.ImageUrl = string.Format(“http://localhost/picture/product/{0}.jpg“, ID);
Here ID is na or the ID of the product.

So the way to acccess a control using ItemDataBound is e.Item.FindControl(“<ControlName>“).

Good Luck all and have fun :D

ASPTreeView (obout)
Good treeview control simple but good very easy to use but can't be added to the toolbar witch is a bit of a bummer also if you want to make it a link you have to do the html to the Add methode and one more thing it will only print in a tabel so it aint a real control.
