I know you can stack case(s)
case 1:
case 2:
but can you have ranges as in vb.net does like ( 1 to 6 ) type of thing, or
<n or n etc.

No, you can't. So in those situations, you either have to stack cases
on top of eachother or use a christmastree of if/else statements :)

No, not in C#. You will have to stack some "if... else if..." blocks to
do that.

In general it is not good for a language to get all possible
features (PL/I, Ada etc. show how that goes).
So features are prioritized. And this one ended up below the
line for C#.
I don't have a problem with that. I think it is relative rare
to want to do that *and* the code are in need not for some cleanup.

They're just different ways of expressing the same thing. Depending on
the ranges involved, the VB compiler may choose to compile it as an
if/else anyway.
Wouldn't it always ?
Or does x86 instruction set have a CASE instruction ?

Just Me,
This is a dead horse, even Jon Skeet writes on his pages that the Select
case from VB for Net is better than the C# switch.

VB 2002 - VB 2008, VB7 to VB9 are inhouse development codes like Orca and
things like that.

Where exactly do I do that? I can't remember doing so, nor can I find
it on my FAQ page, which is the only page I can remember comparing VB
and C#.
There are certainly issues with C#'s switch statement, but if we were
to allow ranges I'd want a lot more than that at the same time.
Jon
Jon,
Sorry I thought it was on your pages, probably you have only written this
sometimes.
(And from that I am sure, I don't remember if it was in which newsgroup
anymore).

Versions numbers has become a mess.
VS 2008 - C# compiler 3.5 - C# language 3.0
VS 2008 - MS VC++ 9.0 - MS C++ 15.0
Of course VB is messed up.
(and not that Java is better, Java 2 SE 1.4 -Java 2 SE 5 ->
Java SE 6 is the same mess)
It should be forbidden by law to change names and version numbering
schemes for software.

Polymorphism replaces switch statements, making the code more

What I understand, that needs to be done at the programming level, is
this:
a switch-case has a variable (most probably an enumeration) &
associated symbols or integral value. Selection is made, base on what
symbol/value the variable holds. So

Hi all,
I don't have a copy of C standard at hand and so anyone of you can

Sorry if this is OT on clc and more relevant to comp.compilers. I am

Is a switch more efficient than an if statement? I observe thru the debugger
that a switch statement jumps directly to its case handler where as an if
statement examines all conditions sequentially. Is that a trick of the
debugger or is a switch quicker by O(n).

I am a convert from VB to C# so bear with me on this "conversion" question
C# switch statement seems to be the closest relative to VB's Select Case. I used VB's Select Case statement liberally. Now I find myself wanting to use "Select Case" i.e., "switch" in C# regularly, but I always have to find another way b/c C#'s switch statement only allows static or integral variables. For example, I often want to use a switch statement based on the...

Hi everyone,
This is the first time iam posting excuse me if iam making any
mistake. My question is iam using a switch case statement in which i
have around 100 case statements to compare. so just curious to find
out is it effective to use this method?? or is there is any other
alternative method present so that execution time and code size can be
reduced??
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
