syntax for Select Case statements

[ST]

Hi, I'm trying to debug someone else's code, and I'm going thru this Select
Case statement. I'm having problems with the "OTHER" case...in that when the
first line of the case is false, it jumps to the end of the select case
block, instead of finishing going thru the rest of the cases (and thereby
reaching the next "OTHER" case). Can anyone explain this to me?? Thanks!
I've put ***** where things seems to mess up!

Select Case dr("SUBCATEGORY").ToString

If Not dr("CHOICE").ToString = "NA" Then
lblNS_DD.Text = dr("CHOICE").ToString.ToUpper

dr("IS_FAMILY_HISTORY").ToString.ToUpper

Are you saying that it executes the first block marked "OTHER" and then
skips every thing else? I think that behavior is by design,

Looking at the IL for a select case, it appears that at the end of each
block it puts a jump to the end of the select case. In effect, once it
enters a case block, it doesn't even check the other conditions
anymore.

Probably the simplest solution is to just combine the code from both
"OTHER" blocks. This would be more readable anyway.
