[RESOLVED] [2008] Select Case multiple clauses

[nmadd]

I don't think I can do this, but I thought I would confirm with my most trusted VB source - you!

Select Case i
    Case 1, 2, 3
        DoSomething()
End Select

Can I tell if 1, 2, or 3 got me to DoSomething()?

Inside the Case 1, 2, 3 you would have to check for what i is again to tell which caused it to step into that case

you'd be better off not testing for 1, 2, 3 and simply do a case for each

ie

Select Case i
  Case 1
    Something
  Case 2
    Something
  Case 3
    And Something
End Select

Fair enough. Thanks!

For testCTR As Integer = 0 To 10
            Select Case testCTR
                Case 0, 1, 2
                    Debug.WriteLine(testCTR.ToString.PadRight(3, " "c) & "0, 1 or 2")
                Case 3
                    Debug.WriteLine(testCTR.ToString.PadRight(3, " "c) & "3")
                Case 4 To 7
                    Debug.WriteLine(testCTR.ToString.PadRight(3, " "c) & "4 - 7")
                Case Else
                    Debug.WriteLine(testCTR.ToString.PadRight(3, " "c) & "other")
            End Select
        Next

            Select Case testCTR
                Case 0, 1, 2
                    Debug.WriteLine(testCTR.ToString.PadRight(3, " "c) & "0, 1 or 2")
                Case 3
                    Debug.WriteLine(testCTR.ToString.PadRight(3, " "c) & "3")
                Case 4 To 7
                    Debug.WriteLine(testCTR.ToString.PadRight(3, " "c) & "4 - 7")
                Case Else

            End Select
        Next

That still doesn't help him any, once he's inside the case of 1, 2 or 3, he'll still have to test i again to find out if it stepped in because i was a 1, 2 or a 3.
