Switch statment question

[Andrea Williams]

I used to program with VBS and I'm used to allowing multiple cases in one
CASE line. Anyway to do that C#?

VB Example:

Select Case (lngStatus)
Case 1,2,3
'do something
Case 4
'do something
End Select

Here is an example

string time = "pm";
string greeting = "Good ";
switch(time){
case "pm":
greeting+="evening";
break;
case "am":
greating+="morning";
break;
default:
greating="Hello";
break;
}
MsgBox(greeting);

Cheers,

Sam

Maybe I wasn't clear... How would you say case "pm" and case "am"? As an
alternate to the GOTO statement. I'd like to add multiple cases to one line
if possible. Hence the "Case 1,2,3" below. if the GOTO statement is the
only way, then I'll stick to it, but just thought I'd ask

Place the cases immediately one after the other.

switch(time)
{
case "am":
case "pm":
greeting += "evening";
break;

default:
greeting += "error";
break;
}

You can do that also, since line breaks aren't significant, but IMHO
it's much less readable in C#.

switch(time)
{
case "am": case "pm":
greeting += "evening";
break;
