if condition in foreach loop

Hi all,

I have something like this in my code..

I have a Students list.

foreach(var name in Students)
{
if(name.StudentName == "John")
{
//Do Something
}
else(name.StudentName == "ALEX")
{
//Do Something
}
}

Is there any better approach for this?

Thanks,
Genith

Well, can you generalize the "//Do something" part so that it can be parametrized and then applied to all the students in the same way? Is there a common pattern you can use? If there is, you can write one or more methods and use the properties associated with the student objects, and possibly some other values, as parameters to a common algorithm.

Thanks for the reply. There is no common pattern. In //Do something i need to turn on some Boolean properties. I looking for something in place of foreach loop.

Thanks

Assuming you actually wanted to replace the if construct (instead of the foreach as stated in your reply to TGC - foreach is the best way to iterate through a List)...

Code:

---

    foreach (var name in Students) {
        switch (name.StudentName.ToLower()) {
            case "john":
                // Do something specific to John
                break;
            case "alex":
                // Do something specific to Alex
                break;
            case "james":
            case "robert":
                // Do something specific to both James and Robert
                break;
            default:
                // Do something if not John, Alex, James, or Robert
                break;
        }
        // If you need - you can do something here common to all
    }
