I switched tasks again.  I love adhd and I am trying to do some work for one of my clients.  I am writing a piece of code that pulls and validates information from an excel file.  I am given a lot of freedom in the implementation.  The only constraint is I have to use visual studio 2005.  I wrote a function to convert integers.  I wrote a function to covert Doubles.  I wrote a function to convert Strings.  So on and so forth.  I have been working with generics a bit.  All my previous jobs did not present me with the opportunity to dig deep.  What I am trying to accomplish is below: 

If you know of a solution let me know.  I will post up if I find anything.
