Why is there no String.IsNumeric Function in C#
<p>I am just curious to know why the C# language team has not provided a IsNumeric function on the String object?. IsNumeric function would have been more proper on a String object that the Int32.TryParse Function.</p>

<p>Note: I am asking this question because I have found it difficult to explain this to a beginner and I don't like them cursing C# for this! </p>

<p>Update: Please, this question is not about how to Implement a IsNumeric function.</p>
