title: Integer.TryParse - a better way?
body: <p>I find myself often needing to use Integer.TryParse to test if a value is an integer.  However, when you use TryParse, you have to pass a reference variable to the function, so I find myself always needing to create a blank integer to pass in.  Usually it looks something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim tempInt as Integer
  If Integer.TryParse(myInt, tempInt) Then
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I find this to be quite cumbersome considering that all I want is a simple True / False response.  Is there a better way to approach this? Why isn't there an overloaded function where I can just pass the value I want to test and get a true / false response?</p>
