Hello,
maybe this is an easy one:
Is there any way to check, if a string value can be
converted into another type (e.g. DateTime, Integer)
without using exceptions (try/catch)?
Thanks in advance,

in c#, not really - although some types do have a .TryParse() function.
If you wish to, you can reference Microsoft.Visua lBasic, and use the
IsNumeric, IsDate, etc functions defined there. However, some of those have
lots of code in them, and my not actually be more performant than try/catch.
Lastly, you could use a compiled regular expression to match the data, which
(After the first time) will probably be faster than either other method.

If you're interested in performance and will be getting a lot of "bad
data", you should also consider a first-pass method which might (say)
look at each character in the string to make sure it's appropriate.
I've found that this kind of thing can be far faster at filtering out a
lot of obviously bad candidates and then using an "industrial
strength" technique on the rest than just going straight to the heavy
stuff.

Did phase 2 get cancelled, or is it just not in the

Hello,
I have been reading the c++ standard recently, in particular the part
about input iterators. I note that given an input iterator a for type T,
then *a only has to be "convertable to T", not actually of type T.
Firstly, I can't seem to find an exact definition of "convertable to T".
While I assume it is the obvious definition (an implicit conversion), I
can't find an exact definition. Is there one?

I made this function which given two strings c1 and c2 test if with the
letters of both you can exactly form the string c3, so for exaple c1 =
"evol" c2= "ution" and c3 = "evolution" will yield true.
The function looks like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

Hi,
does anybody know a speedy analog of IsNumeric() to check for
strings/chars. I would like to check if an Object can be treated as a
string before using a Cstr(), clearly avoiding the time and resource
consuming Try... Catch, which in iterative processing is totally
unacceptable.

Hello!
I have below a for loop and a switch in the for loop.
I have also a enum called colBlowStep with some values.
I have also an array called m_columnBlowStep with some strings.
All items in the array m_columnBlowStep is string because I have used
ToString on each enum item as you can see.
I want to use enum in the case statment in the switch.
I know I can use string but I rather want to use enum.

A sub-routine retrieves the value in a TextBox (which ought to be an

BoundColumn which changes to a TextBox when the DataGrid is in the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
