I might be wrong about that VB switch statement, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't support the fall-through idea.

Thanks for the clarification. I should have know that, but I don't remember ever seeing that in practice.

However, after reading your post i decided to try that in C#, and as far as I can tell C# dosn't support that either.

This code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int i = 10;
            switch (i) {
                case (1):
                    Debug.Print("1");
                case (2):
                    Debug.Print("2");
            }
        }
    }
}

generates these errors:
Error 1 Control cannot fall through from one case label ('case 1:') to another C:\Users\Eric Haskins\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplicati on1\Program.cs 15 17 ConsoleApplication1
Error 2 Control cannot fall through from one case label ('case 2:') to another C:\Users\Eric Haskins\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplicati on1\Program.cs 17 17 ConsoleApplication1

Am I being stupid again, or is this a limitation of all .net languages?

EDIT: I found my own answer. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...28(VS.90).aspx That seems slightly old VBish.
