IsNumeric, IsDate, IsCurrency

#1

The first two "Is" function exist in VB.NET (though they reference the old
Microsoft VisualBasic namespace) while the third one doesn't exist. What are
the .NET "best practice" equivalents of these three functions? (In other
words, other than by "rolling my own" how am I supposed to implement that
functionality?)

TIA,

Bill

Is Currency: The currency datatype has been replaced by the Decimal type
in .Net.
IsNull: The Variant type has been replaced by the Object type in .Net.
IsDbNull() is a function to check against db data for whether or not it's
null.
