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.
He shoulda written it recursively :laugh:

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

From the C# questions forum of this very site, I give you: "Why does the compiler complain about falling through the code blocks?" http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1649/Csharp.aspx?fid=1649&select=3038975#xx3038975xx[^]
hi
I have these code . What could cause above error ? Thanksstate=1
switch (state)
{
case 1:
//do somethinggoto case 2;
case 2:
//do something
goto case 3;
case 3:
//do something
goto case 4;............
case 100:
//do something
}

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

He should have used the for- case pattern ;-)

If the syntax is correctet, the compiler doesn't complain... :laugh: thank you for teaching me that - ;P
int 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 4://do something break; // !!! } -

int 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 4://do something break; // !!! }I'm still in favor of
//do something #1 //do something #2 //do something #3 //do something #4which compiles just fine. :)

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.
