IsNumeric Exception

[dagal10]

In VB.Net we are using IsNumeric to prevent an exception but when we pass "&h-#" I get System.ArgumentException with message "String cannot contain a minus sign if the base is not 10."

&h-# is a randomly generated value, but we didn't expect IsNumeric to throw an exception, just return False

Ex:
Dim isNumber As Boolean = IsNumeric("&h-#")
