Swtch Statement

[Siddharth Rout]

In VB.Net, I would write my Select Case as

        Dim sid As Integer = 0

        sid = 41

        Select Case sid
            Case 33 To 60

        End Select

How do I do that in C#

I tried using this convertor

It gave me

switch (sid) {
	case 33: // TODO: to 60
		break;
}

which obviously is not what I want...

I was referring to this link

So in c# do I have to write it as

                switch (sid)
                {
                    case 33: case 34: case 35: case 36: case 37: case 38: case 39: case 40:
                    case 41: case 42: case 43: case 44: case 45: case 46: case 47: case 48:
                    case 49: case 50: case 51: case 52: case 53: case 54: case 55: case 56:
                    case 57: case 58: case 59: case 60:
                    
                    break;
                }

If yes, then what if there are 100 values to check (1 To 100)? Do I have to write Case 100 times? Or is there a better way to write it?

As far as I know, it is not possible in C#, you would have to do case 1: case 2: case 3:, etc.

If you have large ranges, using an if statement would be the better option.

Boy! If that's true then By Jove!!!! My love for VB just increased even more!!!!!

I will wait for more responses before I close this thread...

'Select Case' and 'switch' in C# are totally different constructs.
Your VB example is an if/else block in C#:

if (sid >= 33 && sid <= 60)
{
}
