Hi everybody,

I have this code:

 if (!xe.IsEmpty)
                    {
                       elementValue = xe.Value;

                       if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(elementValue) && "false"!=elementValue.ToLower())

where elementValue is a string containing the representation of data. So, the string with the data can be:


/ / - I am not 100% sure if we can have such strings, but it will mean empty date

0.00 - this means empty numeric value

false -- this means empty boolean

0x - this means empty binary

etc.

---------
I am wondering if there is a way to figure out a type based on the string represenation and also check if it's empty or not (for that type)?

Thanks in advance.
