Problem with switch statment

[DotNetBlocks]

Hello,

I am new to C#, but I have exp in VB.net. I am having an issue with a case/switch statment in C#, and can not seem to figure out why.

Every case statment receives the following error:
"A constant value is expected"


Shouldn't this always resolve to True or False?
(determine < 0) = T or F

  bool n = true;
            switch (n)
            {
                case (determine < 0):
                    {
                        GuessMessageResponse(-1);
                        return GuessNumber(hidden);
                    }
                case (determine > 100):
                    {
                        GuessMessageResponse(1);
                        return GuessNumber(hidden);
                    }
                case (determine < 0):
                    {
                        GuessMessageResponse(-1);
                      return GuessNumber(hidden);
                    }
                 case (determine - hidden) > 0:
                    {
                        GuessMessageResponse(1);
                      return GuessNumber(hidden);
                     }
                  default:
                  {
                      GuessMessageResponse(0);
                   return hidden;
                  }
            }

Case must be a constant value like 1, determine > 10 wont work

In case your interested, this thread spawned an interesting discussion on switch statements (particularly how you can avoid using them). thread732-1454140
