Is this the case to select case?

Alberto Biasiutti

Here's a little jewel I found in the source code of a module I bought (just changed querystring parameter and variable names)

If Request.QueryString("queryParam") <> Nothing Then
Select Case Convert.ToInt16(Request.QueryString("queryParam"))
Case 1
var = 1
Case 2
var = 2
Case 3
var = 3
Case 4
var = 4

    Case 5
        var = 5
    Case 6
        var = 6
End Select

Else

Hopefully the possible values of the parameter won't grow in future :)

That's terrible. Where's the default value? :-D

Alberto Biasiutti

No, this is not terrible, it's good... it made me laugh!! :)

I saw something similar at Computer Stupidities (about halfway down the page). This is worse, though, because one wouldn't expect such atrocities from professionals.

It's VB, what'd you expect? :-D

I'm consider myself far from being a gur at programming, but those things make me cry.. I still have to understand if it's sadness or joy!! :D Thank's for the link

Maybe you don't have a choice, in that case you're forgiven as long as you keep that C# minded brain working :-D

We'll. Speak. Slowly. Then. :laugh: I worked in VB for about 15 years and I am pleased to have escaped. For now.

Every time I come to CP, I feel dirty because I use VB! I'll denounce you for discrimination!

That explains the lunchtime drinking... :laugh:

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

No, that was the early part of career working in COBOL. VB is responsible for the night time drinking. :-D
