Well im afraid to say...i cant seem to find it.
and the convert up code feature seems see isnumeric as correct for vb 2008 but vb just doesnt seem to accept it.
Do i need to import a specific reference?
yes, you need to import Microsoft.VisualBasic - it's on the msdn page:
"Requirements
- Namespace: Microsoft.VisualBasic
- Module: Information
- Assembly: Visual Basic Runtime Library (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll)"
if you add
- Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
at the top, it will work.
