Hi everybody,

This is more of a C# language question, but I want to implement this logic in the razor view.

I found that for my case the ViewData.ModelMetadata.ModelType returned Int16.

So, this is what I started to write

@if (ViewData.ModelMetadata.ModelType.ToString()

And I am not sure how to finish it. I want to test it against (first 3 chars to be Int or other numerical types (I guess I need to test for decimal)?

Do you know what is the best way to implement this logic?

Thanks in advance.

-----------------------
By some googling on this topic I found this

Type objType = typeof(T);

    if (objType.IsPrimitive)
    {
        return (objType != typeof(bool) && 
            objType != typeof(char) && 
            objType != typeof(IntPtr) && 
            objType != typeof(UIntPtr)) ||
            objType == typeof(decimal);
    }

Do you think I can somehow apply that code to my case?
