Select Case with Multiple Variables?

[mattkw80]

Is there any way to use a Select statement to Test multiple variables?

ie:

Dim x as integer = 1
Dim x as integer = 2
Dim z as integer = 3

Select Case x, y, z

case is 1, 2, 3

End Select

You could try something like :-

    Select Case True
        Case x = 1 OrElse x = 2 OrElse x = 3 OrElse y = 1 OrElse y = 2 'etc
            'do work here
    End Select

hmm... I think I can make that work.

Thanks!

You can also use the Linq Any method to determine if any of the variables matches any of a set of target values:

Dim x = 1, y = 2, z = 3
Dim variables() As Integer = {x, y, z}
Dim values() As Integer = {3, 4, 5}

Dim any As Boolean = variables.Any(Function(value) values.Contains(value))

I like the SELECT CASE method, as it's nice and easy to read.

Thanks for your input.
