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 seeing if it throws an exception  But this seems to be slowing down my application   Try       if number then format it      current   CDbl x      current   Math Round current  d      Return current Catch ex As System InvalidCastException       item is not a number  do not format    leave as a string     Return x End Try
