Programming 2 /* Case Statements */

A select-case statement is a great way to perform a logical test that might have multiple directions if found true or false. You could write a bunch of if-then-else statements but that could be very cumbersome. Here is how you utilize the Select-Case statement.

Public Class Form1  
   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load  
     Dim number As Integer = 8  
     Select Case number  
       Case 1 To 5  
         Debug.WriteLine("Between 1 and 5, inclusive")  
         ' The following is the only Case clause that evaluates to True.  
       Case 6, 7, 8  
         Debug.WriteLine("Between 6 and 8, inclusive")  
       Case 9 To 10  
         Debug.WriteLine("Equal to 9 or 10")  
       Case Else  
         Debug.WriteLine("Not between 1 and 10, inclusive")  
     End Select  
   End Sub  
 End Class
