In VB6 you could do a SELECT CASE that would evaluate each case for
truth and execute those statements, such as:
SELECT CASE True
case x > y:
dosomestuff()
case x = 5:
dosomestuff()
case y > x:
dosomestuff()
END SELECT
such that if x were 5 and y were 3, it would execute both statements
that evaluated to true.
I have found no way to do the same or similar using Switch. Is there any? 11 2162

yes, thank you for your "RTFM" and your copy-paste from msdn...i can
read the documentation too...and I know how to use a switch
statement...what I was looking for, if you had bothered to read my
message at all, was a way to replicate ONE PARTICULAR ASPECT of the VB
select Case statement that I could not seem to replicate in a C# Switch
statement, i.e., evaluating an expression, rather than a constant, for
truth.
Hi Scott,
I'm afraid that you cannot do that.
If you look at the definition of the switch statement in C#:
switch (expression)
{
case constant-expression:
statement
jump-statement
[default:
statement
jump-statement]
}
you see that the case expression have to be an constant-expression, you
cannot use an expression there. also the expression of the switch clause
must be either integer or string.
Also the jump-statement( break,continue) is a MUST therefore is not
possible to have explicit fall through as in C++.
Hope this help,

it's 'cause C# is similar to C++ more then VB6 :)
SELECT CASE True case x > y: dosomestuff() case x = 5: dosomestuff() case y > x: dosomestuff() END SELECT
use if statment
there is no other way
f.e:
if(x>y)
{
robcstam();
}
else
{
if(x=5)
{
robcostam();
}
else
{
if(y>x)
{
robcosinnego()
}
}
}

well...it helps in that at least I know for sure that it can't be done.
I thought maybe someone knew of a way to make it work. Oh well...
So would you say the proper way to do it then would be:
if(x>y)
{}
if(y<x)
{}
if(x=5)
{}
that seems like a lot of annoying ifs...at least they're not nested though.
thanks for the help.
Scott, I have found no way to do the same or similar using Switch. Is there any?
Unfortunately (or is it fortunately) there no equivalent switch in C#.
Try searching this newsgroup at groups.google.com there have been a couple
of discussions in the last month or two on why it should or should not be
supported...
I would suggest an if/else if/else if/else construct.
Hope this helps

Well, I don't know if it's unfortunate or fortunate...I've been of the
belief that most of the things not in C# that we could do in VB were
fortunate, because we get forced to do things "the right way". Given
everything else I can do in C#...i'll live without this.
thanks.

no because
if x =5 and x>y
your aplication use function0 and function2
what is not you point

Ich think you're wrong:
Dim d&
d = 10
Select Case d
Case Is < 20
Debug.Print "<20"
Case Is > 5
Debug.Print ">5"
End Select
This VB6 Code prints "<20". If the first condition is true, the others are
not evaluated

Try:
Dim d
d = 100
Dim c
c = "hi"
Select Case True
Case d < 20:
Debug.Print "<20"
Case d = 10:
Debug.Print "==10"
Case c = "hi":
Debug.Print "hi"
End Select
Select Case True (as opposed to "Select Case variable" evaluates every
case until it comes to the first true one, and each case expression can
be basically anything that evaluates to true or false. in this case we
can evaluate different expressions for different variables or objects
with the same select case construct, whereas in c#, you have to specify
an expression you want to evaluate (like Switch(d) and then switch(c)
separately)
Perhaps my original example was poor. Sorry.

Ok, the behavior is still the same. After the first expression if evaluated
true, the rest will not take affect.
So the C# of
SELECT CASE True
case x > y:
Debug.Print "1"
case x = 5:
Debug.Print "2"
case y > x:
Debug.Print "3"
END SELECT
would be:
if(x>=y)
{Console.WriteLine("1");}
else if(y=<x)
{Console.WriteLine("2");}
else if(x=5)
{Console.WriteLine("3");}
NOT
if(x>=y)
{Console.WriteLine("1");}
if(y<=x)
{Console.WriteLine("2");}
if(x=5)
{Console.WriteLine("3");}
Assuming x==5, y ==5
Result 1:
1
Result 2:
1
2
3
(I've replaced < / > with <= / >= to demonstrate the difference!)
Why don't you like the ifs? IMO the code is better readable than the VB
code.
