Andy,
Great work!
If I'm honest I'll carry on usig the script component for this because I like the lack of verbosity, each to their own of course. I've updated this post accordingly.
To the people that are suggesting attempting to cast the values and then catch all the failed casts in the error output....be wary of this. If a different error occurs how are you going to distinguish them? I'm not saying it won't work...but be wary.
