case switch 1

[rotschreck]

Hi, so I'm a little rusty on my VB.<br>
Been doing VC for a couple of years now...<br>
<br>
Is there a function that simulates Case / Switch in VB?<br>
<br>
or is there an easier way than a whole bunch of If Thens? <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

Well seeing as how we a VB gurus an Not &quot;C&quot;<br>
I don't know what Case Switch is.<br>
But there is a &quot;Select Case&quot; statement<br>
and here are it's parts<br>
<br>
Select Case x<br>
Case A<br>
CASE B<br>
Case C<br>
Case Else<br>
End select<br>

DougP is right. The Select Case statement in VB is very similar to the Switch statement. The Select Case statement even adds a little more functionality because it allows you to use math operators in your case statements like &lt; or &gt;.<br>

Like DougP said, plus you don't have to put break statements at the end of every case condition to prevent the thread of execution from falling through.<br>
<br>
That alone is a big advantage, in my book.<br>
