in powershell, how can test if variable holds numeric value?

currently, i'm trying this, seems return false.

add-type -language csharpversion3 @'     public class helpers {         public static bool isnumeric(object o) {             return o byte  || o short  || o int  || o long                 || o sbyte || o ushort || o uint || o ulong                 || o float || o double || o decimal                 ;         }     } '@  filter isnumeric($inputobject) {     [helpers]::isnumeric($inputobject) }  ps> 1 | isnumeric false 

modify filter this:

filter isnumeric {     [helpers]::isnumeric($_) } 

function uses $input variable contain pipeline information whereas filter uses special variable $_ contains current pipeline object.

edit:

for powershell syntax way can use filter (w/o add-type):

filter isnumeric() {     return $_ -is [byte]  -or $_ -is [int16]  -or $_ -is [int32]  -or $_ -is [int64]  `        -or $_ -is [sbyte] -or $_ -is [uint16] -or $_ -is [uint32] -or $_ -is [uint64] `        -or $_ -is [float] -or $_ -is [double] -or $_ -is [decimal] }
