[RESOLVED] .NET4.0/VS 2010>>Need "Case 0 to 8" without using Fall Thru

[KKW]

Hi!

In VB I can use the Select Case function and specify case 0 to 8, or Case a to b

How can I do this in C# without using fall thru?

Thanks!

Well you can't; without fallthrough it obviously won't work. Your goals are contradictory. You can of course use fallthrough in C# as long as there is no code in any but the last case:

switch( someVar )
{
    case 0:
    case 1:
    case 2:
    case 3:
    case 4:
    case 5:
    case 6:
    case 7:
    case 8:
      DoStuff();
      break;
}

However, if it is that trivial then you can just use an if statement:

if( someVar > 0 && someVar < 9 ) { }

OR, the more expensive and a bit superfluous version...

if( Enumerable.Range( 0, 8 ).Contains( someVar ) ) { }

You can't do it with the switch statement.

You'll need to use another type of construct like an if or if/else statement.

Yeah, I was about half afraid that was the case. I'll use the if statement.

Thanks guys!
