.net - Checking if an object is a number in C#

I'd like to check if an object is a number so that .ToString() would result in a string containing digits and +,-,.

Is it possible by simple type checking in .net (like: if (p is Number))?

Or Should I convert to string, then try parsing to double?

Update: To clarify my object is int, uint, float, double, and so on it isn't a string. I'm trying to make a function that would serialize any object to xml like this:

<string>content</string>

or

<numeric>123.3</numeric>

or raise an exception.

You will simply need to do a type check for each of the basic numeric types.

Here's an extension method that should do the job:

public static bool IsNumber(this object value)
{
    return value is sbyte
            || value is byte
            || value is short
            || value is ushort
            || value is int
            || value is uint
            || value is long
            || value is ulong
            || value is float
            || value is double
            || value is decimal;
}

This should cover all numeric types.

Update

It seems you do actually want to parse the number from a string during deserialisation. In this case, it would probably just be best to use double.TryParse.

string value = "123.3";
double num;
if (!double.TryParse(value, out num))
    throw new InvalidOperationException("Value is not a number.");

Of course, this wouldn't handle very large integers/long decimals, but if that is the case you just need to add additional calls to long.TryParse / decimal.TryParse / whatever else.
