[RESOLVED] switch statement confusion

uuh I dunno how to do this but I sure do hope it's possible in C#:(

I have a switch and I want code execution to fall from one case to another if a certain condition isn't met

Code:

---

switch (something)
{
    case 1:
        if (val==true)
        {
            //do stuff;
            break;
        }
        else
          {
              // go on to other case statements.... but how? it won't compile without break;
          }
    case 2:
    case 3:

}

From the VS help topic entitled "switch":

Unlike the C++ switch statement, C# does not support an explicit fall through from one case label to another. If you want, you can use goto a switch-case, or goto default.

---

You can fall through from one case to another only if the first case is empty.

ah that sucks :(
arg I don't think I should use goto
thanks for the reply

I don't get it.

If you don't use break, your code will just carry one excecuting right?

Surely one can use that logic to go to the next switch if a condition is not met?

if you put some code in a case block, and don't use "break" you will get a compile error. It would be nice if you could do it like in C++ though :(

You'll have to resort to if statements, evaluating both conditions...
