multiple "case" in a switch

[Kevin Blount]

I've been unsuccessful finding a site that tells me, so I'm asking here:

can I have multiple 'clauses' per 'case' in a 'switch' statement?

e.g.

switch "myVar"
{
case "1", "a":
break;
case "2", "b":
break;
default:
break;
}

and if so, what's the proper syntax, as the above didn't work

Many thanks

string s = "b";
switch (s)
{
case "1":
case "a":
Console.WriteLine("s is 1 or a");
break;
case "2":
case "b":
Console.WriteLine("s is 2 or b");
break;
default:
break;
}

Kevin,

can I have multiple 'clauses' per 'case' in a 'switch' statement?
Yes..

and if so, what's the proper syntax, as the above didn't work

...the syntax is like this.

switch myVar
{
case "1":
case "a":
// your code here
break;
case "2":
case "b":
// your code here
break;
default:
// your code here
break;
}

Regards,

Richard
