Precisely, so I strongly recommend you use Double.TryParse now (yes even for
int types).  It's much more efficient than using the exception mechanism.

// TODO: .NET 2.0 will introduce Int32.Parse so change this later.
double myNum = 0.0;
bool isNum = Double.TryParse( inputNum, NumberStyles.Integer,
NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo, out myNum );
if (isNum)
{
  someInteger += (int) myNum;
}
else
{
  ...
}
