IsDigit  
Method  
Returns true if a given character is a decimal numeric digit character
Char Class
System NameSpace
CF1.  Function IsDigit ( UnicodeChar : Char; ) : Boolean;
NotCF2.  Function IsDigit ( CharString:StringCharString : String; Index : Integer; ) : Boolean; Static;
CF : Methods with this mark are Compact Framework Compatible
Description
Returns true if the Unicode character, or the character at Index position in CharString is a decimal numeric digit character.
 
Decimal numeric characters :
 
0123456789 Decimal digits

 
Do not use this if you are simply looking to parse a normal decimal string - use IsDigit.
Notes
Very Important : Methods in .Net treat strings as starting at 0, unlike traditional Delphi where they started at 1.

Static methods are not methods of an object - they are simply class functions or procedures available at any time.
