Check TextBox for int or string

[MRW]

I'm looking for a function that will take the value of a textbox and
see if it an integer or string.

Basically, I'm trying to add a simple search form with two overloaded
functions. If the search term is an int32, then it will run searchA;
if it's a string, then it will run searchB. At this point, even if the
textbox is full of numbers, it's still a string.

I'm having no luck finding anything on the web. Does anybody have
any ideas?

Thanks for any help!

Int32.TryParse() if your using .net 2.0 or read this, tells you about a
range of options
