Interesting use of TryParse

[campkev]

double.TryParse(Amount, out dAmount);
if (dAmount == double.MinValue)
     throw new ApplicationException("Item amount cannot be converted to a number.");

 Maybe it's just someone who's used to VB.NET's TryCast.

 Heh. I like this one. It reminds me of something I would have done when I started programming.

Original: @campkev said:

double.TryParse(Amount, out dAmount);

if (dAmount == double.MinValue)

throw new ApplicationException("Item amount cannot be converted to a number.");

Proper:

if(!Double.TryParse(Amount, out dAmount))

throw new ApplicationException("Item amount cannot be converted to a number.");

Correct:

dAmount = Double.Parse(Amount);
