switch that uses radio button selection

[Tim923]

For an exercise, I must use a switch statement to assign values to
variables based on the 1 or 4 radio buttons selected. Can I do this
without using an extra if-else statement? Some code below:

if (makeOverRadioButton.Checked) {intServiceChoiceLocal = 1;}
else if (hairStylingRadioButton.Checked) {intServiceChoiceLocal = 2;}
else if (manicureRadioButton.Checked) {intServiceChoiceLocal = 3;}
else if (permanentMakeupRadioButton.Checked) {intServiceChoiceLocal
=4;}

switch (intServiceChoiceLocal)
{
case 1:
strServiceNameLocal = "Make Over";
decServiceCostLocal = decMAKEOVER_PRICE;
break;

(code snip, etc.)

I meant: 1 OF 4

I find those concise if-else statements easier to follow, but will
have to change them back to please the prof.

Hi Tim,

You can put the radiobuttons in groupbox and use it like this
for (int i = 0; i < groupBox1.Controls.Count; i ++)
{
RadioButton current = (RadioButton)groupBox1.Controls ;

switch (current.Checked)
{
case true:
// your code here
break;
}
}

Use standard HTML (non Server control) radiobuttons (<input type="radio"
.....>)

Assigned each the same ID and provide VALUE attributes (1,2,3,4)
<input type="Radio" id="Hair" Value="1">Make Over</input> etc

Read the value of that ID from the Request.Form collection.
int choice = Convert.ToInt32(Request.Form["Hair"]);

Use those values as the cases of the switch.


Presumably there is a way to to this use a server control, but I do see
it.
