      Ah, but only four of those are unique. That works out at 2 errors for each unique line of code

        hi
        I have these code . What could cause above error ? Thanks

        state=1
        switch (state)
        {
        case 1:
        //do something

        goto case 2;

        case 2:

        //do something

        goto case 3;

        case 3:
        //do something
        goto case 4;

        ............

        case 100:

        //do something

        Other than the missing semi-colon on the first statement, that's how it should be.

          Well I have very good idea what happened. The programmer tried to implement fall-through switch, which is not allowed in C#. When he discovered that, he decided to work around it with those goto calls. He was either rusty on his goto or he could not figure how to "declare" a label or maybe the language he was using before did allow something similar... That's what happens when you switch languages. For a while you keep thinking in terms of the old language thus producing such jems.

              You missed a couple: 9) Undocumented 10) 100 numeric states. How do you keep track of which one does what...

                  Could easily be c++ -> C# :). But still, this isn't nice in C++ as well.

                  You have the thought that modern physics just relay on assumptions, that somehow depends on a smile of a cat, which isn’t there.( Albert Einstein)

                      state=1 for (int n = state; n<101;n++) { switch (n) { case 1: //do something case 2: //do something case 3: //do something ............ case 100: //do something } } What could be easier than that ;-)

                          I'm still in favor of

                            //do something #1
                            //do something #2
                            //do something #3
                            //do something #4
                          

                          which compiles just fine. :)

                              I'm still in favor of

                                //do something #1
                                //do something #2
                                //do something #3
                                //do something #4
                              

                              which compiles just fine. :)

                              The quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get. Show formatted code inside PRE tags, and give clear symptoms when describing a problem.

                              Whatever he was trying to do, It results in what Luc has written. Ultimately, he ended up getting the same result with extra lines of code.
